By soaking the oats overnight, they absorb the liquid to create a thick, custard-like texture that pairs beautifully with the juicy mango and shredded coconut. This method eliminates the need for cooking, allowing the chia seeds to swell and add a delightful creaminess that makes every spoonful satisfying.
