Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
• Zest and juice of 2 limes
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh fruit for layering (such as mango, kiwi, or berries)
• Toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Stir in the chia seeds, making sure there are no clumps. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to expand and create a pudding-like texture.
4. Once the chia pudding is ready, give it a good stir. In serving glasses, layer the chia pudding with your choice of fresh fruit.
5. Top each parfait with some toasted coconut flakes for added crunch and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Note: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on your taste preference.

For the best texture, allow the chia seeds to soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, consider adding a touch of agave syrup or maple syrup to the coconut milk mixture. Feel free to experiment with toppings; fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, or even a sprinkle of granola can enhance the parfait’s flavor and texture.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just give it a stir before serving, as the chia seeds may settle.
