Salt and black pepper to taste For the Roasted Almonds:
1/2 cup almonds
1 tsp ghee or coconut oil
A pinch of ground cinnamon
Salt to taste
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well and let it sit for 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens into a pudding consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping.
Meanwhile, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a small mixing bowl, toss almonds with ghee or coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 8 10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Allow them to cool before breaking into smaller pieces.
To serve, layer the coconut chia pudding, mango salsa, and roasted almonds in individual bowls or a single serving dish, creating a beautiful and appetizing contrast of colors and textures.
Chef’s Insight
Experiment with different fruits in the salsa to change up the flavors depending on the season.
Notes
For a more indulgent dish, try adding a dollop of keto-friendly yogurt or whipped cream on top.
