Passion Fruit Mango Chia Pudding

This is one of those recipes that does almost all its work while you sleep. Chia seeds swell in coconut milk overnight into a thick, pudding-like base, and all that's left in the morning is layering it with fresh passion fruit pulp and diced mango — the tartness of one balancing the sweetness of the other in a way that feels genuinely tropical rather than just sweet.

Made with maple syrup instead of honey, this pudding is fully plant-based, and it's naturally gluten-free and dairy-free since coconut milk stands in for dairy entirely. The chia seeds also bring a good dose of fiber to the bowl, which helps this feel like a real breakfast rather than a dessert dressed up as one — even though it would be equally at home as a light treat after dinner.
