- Once the chia pudding has set, give it one more good stir to ensure it has a consistent texture.
- In serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of chia pudding at the bottom.
- Add a layer of mixed fruits (strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries) on top of the chia pudding.
- Sprinkle some chopped almonds and dried coconut meat over the fruit layer.
- Repeat the layers until you reach the top of your serving vessel, finishing with a layer of fruits and a sprinkle of almonds and coconut for garnish.
