Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large ripe peach, diced
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
- Once thickened, stir the chia pudding to break up any clumps.
- To assemble, layer the chia pudding, diced peaches, and granola in serving glasses or bowls.
- Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of granola on top.
- Garnish with shredded coconut and additional peach slices if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Tip: For a creamier texture, blend the coconut milk with the chia seeds before refrigerating.
For a fun twist, try using different fruits like mango or pineapple instead of peaches. You can also mix in some vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the chia pudding for added flavor. If you’re looking for a vegan version, ensure your granola is dairy-free.
Store any leftover chia pudding in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again. These parfaits are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also prepare the pudding in advance and assemble it just before serving to keep the granola crunchy!
