Description
A quick, easy, and refreshing vegan parfait combining creamy coconut milk, fresh mango, and chia seeds for a nutritious and naturally sweetened treat ready in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup (50g) chia seeds
- 1 cup (240ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 large fresh mango, peeled and diced (about 1 cup / 165g)
- 2 tablespoons (15g) toasted coconut flakes (optional)
- ½ cup (60g) granola (optional)
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup (240ml) of full-fat coconut milk into a mixing bowl.
- Add ⅓ cup (50g) chia seeds, 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract.
- Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes to prevent clumps.
- Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for thicker pudding.
- While pudding rests, peel and dice the mango into bite-sized pieces.
- If using, toast coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden, stirring constantly.
- Layer the parfait by spooning chia pudding into serving glasses or jars, then add a layer of diced mango.
- Add granola or toasted coconut flakes for crunch if desired.
- Repeat layers until glasses are full, finishing with mango and coconut flakes on top.
- Serve immediately for a softer texture or chill for another 15 minutes for a firmer pudding.
Notes
Use full-fat canned coconut milk for creaminess; light coconut milk is too thin. Stir chia seeds thoroughly to avoid clumps. Rest pudding at least 10 minutes for best texture; overnight chilling is ideal. Adjust maple syrup based on mango sweetness. Toast coconut flakes for extra crunch. Granola can be added for texture contrast. Make ahead by preparing pudding base the night before.
