Rich, creamy, and bursting with tropical flavor, these pudding cups are the kind of make-ahead treat that feels indulgent without any of the fuss. Full-fat coconut milk gives the base a luscious, velvety texture, while chia seeds do all the thickening work overnight — no gelatin, no flour, no starch needed. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking into your dessert. The mango layer is bright and juicy, lifted by a squeeze of lime juice that keeps the fruit tasting fresh and vibrant against the creamy pudding beneath it. Toasted shredded coconut on top adds a satisfying crunch and a subtle nuttiness that ties the whole thing together beautifully. This recipe makes four cups, so it's perfect for prepping on a Sunday and pulling from the fridge all week long. Whether you're serving it as a light dessert or a grab-and-go breakfast, it genuinely feels like something you'd order at a beachside café.
