Healthy Mango Cardamom Chia Seed Pudding
This Healthy Mango Cardamom Chia Seed Pudding is inspired by one of the most popular desserts served at the bakery I work at — a Mango Lime and Cardamom Coconut Tapioca Pudding. The two recipes are similar but very different at the same time. Like brothers and sisters. I omitted the lime juice (personally, I’m not a huge fan of lime), increased the amount of mango and cardamom, and of course, used a simple, no-cook chia seed base instead of a cooked tapioca pearl pudding. The result? Unparalleled delicious perfection.
The mango adds a tropical, sweet, and addictive quality while the cardamom transports you to a far away land of rainbows and unicorns. And in that land, your taste buds are in a permanent state of bliss. Nirvana, even?
I’m a bit new to using cardamom in recipes because its flavor is so distinctive. It’s described as both citrusy and peppery. But I can tell already, I’m becoming obsessed. I want to sneak it into everything I make. It goes perfectly well in recipes that call for cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves (like Carrot Cake). And of course, it pairs oh so well with mango in this Healthy Mango Cardamom Chia Seed Pudding!

Thank you for your recipes. just a few questions if you don’t mind. I have normal almond milk so should I increase the vanilla essence? I also have a fresh mango. would this suffice ? and finally i have a bottle of Stevia. would be able to give me an amount in grams or oz or cups etc that I would need to use.
Regular almond milk will work just fine, I don’t think you’d need to increase the vanilla extract.
Fresh mango will also work!
The 3 packets of sweetener should equal about 2 tablespoons of sugar, which is about 1 dropper full of liquid stevia (I think this is around 15 drops?). I’d just do this to taste, you can use more or less. Also depends on how sweet your mango is. Hope you like the recipe! 🙂
