When preparing your Tropical Bliss Frozen Mango Chia Greek Cups, the choice of sweetener can significantly affect the flavor profile of the finished dessert. Both honey and maple syrup are excellent options, each bringing its unique taste to the table. Honey tends to offer a floral sweetness that can enhance the tropical essence of the mango, while maple syrup introduces earthy undertones that complement the creaminess of Greek yogurt and the nuttiness of chia seeds.

Ingredients
  

1 cup ripe mango, diced

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup coconut milk (or milk of choice)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, granola, sliced almonds, or fresh mango slices

Instructions
 

Blend the Mango: In a blender, puree the diced mango until smooth. If you prefer some texture, reserve a few pieces to fold in later.

    Prepare Chia Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, Greek yogurt, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until combined. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquids and swell.

      Layer the Cups: In serving cups or small bowls, start by adding a layer of the chia Greek mixture, then a layer of the mango puree. If you saved some mango pieces, sprinkle them on top of the mango layer. Repeat the layers until you fill the cups.

        Freeze: Once layered, cover the cups with plastic wrap or a lid and place them in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully frozen.

          Serve: When ready to serve, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and your choice of toppings like shredded coconut, granola, or sliced almonds.

            Enjoy: Spoon into your mouth and savor the tropical paradise in every bite!
