Chia Pudding with Walnut Coconut Sugar Topping

This is an easy and delicious pudding to prepare. I particularly love the topping. I used coconut brown sugar but you can substitute plain brown sugar but the former imparts a special exotic twist to the taste. You can use any fresh fruit like mango instead of the fruit cocktail.
