In a large bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until well combined and there are no clumps of chia seeds.

Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding has thickened to a gel-like consistency.

Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir. If it's too thick, you can add a splash more coconut milk or water to reach your desired consistency. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.

Divide the chia pudding evenly into serving glasses or bowls. Top with fresh cubed mango. You can layer the mango in between pudding layers for a pretty presentation.

Garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut, if using, before serving. Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
