Here is my recipe for a delicious, exotic dessert: coconut milk with chia seeds. Chia seeds, which originate from Mexico, are very rich in protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. When soaked in liquid, these seeds begin to swell.

They can absorb up to seven times their volume in water. The mixture then takes on a very pleasant, creamy consistency dotted with small, plump beads.

This dessert is both nourishing and very easy to prepare. It pairs well with all kinds of fruit, especially exotic fruits like mango or passion fruit.

1.7 cup of coconut milk (or a mixture of coconut milk and cow's milk or another plant-based milk)
4 tbsp of chia seeds
2 tbsp of maple syrup (or sugar, honey, ...)
1 mango (or 2 passion fruits per person, a banana, fruit sauce, etc.)

1
Pour the milk into a bowl and mix in the maple syrup.
2
Add the chia seeds and mix well.
3
Let it sit in the fridge for a few hours so the seeds can swell.
4
Just before serving, top with the chopped fruit.
5
If you're using passion fruit, cut them in half and scoop out the pulp from each half into the glass using a small spoon.

Too many seeds for my taste… Next time I'll use only 2 tablespoons of chia seeds.

I made the passion fruit version—it’s absolutely delicious… the coconut cream balances out the fruit’s tartness, and the chia seeds give it the perfect creamy texture… I have a feeling I’ll be making this a lot!
