Indulge guilt-free with our Avocado Lime Matcha Parfait, a nutritious dessert with chia mango swirl. Perfect for clean eating enthusiasts!
Ingredients
- • ripe avocado: 2 large
- • fresh lime juice: 3 tablespoons
- • lime zest: 1 teaspoon
- • matcha powder: 1 tablespoon
- • unsweetened coconut milk: 1 cup
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • chia seeds: 3 tablespoons
- • fresh mango, diced: 1 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • pomegranate seeds: 1/4 cup (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 In a small bowl, combine chia seeds with half a cup of coconut milk and let them soak for about 15 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency.
- 2 While the chia seeds are soaking, in a blender, combine the avocados, lime juice, lime zest, matcha powder, remaining coconut milk, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 3 In a separate bowl, mash half of the diced mango with a fork to create a puree. Mix this mango puree with the soaked chia seeds.
- 4 Layer the parfait by spooning the avocado matcha mixture into serving glasses, followed by a layer of the chia mango mixture. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full.
- 5 Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
- 6 Before serving, garnish with the remaining diced mango and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for an added burst of flavor and color.
Serving Suggestions
- • These chilled parfaits are perfect on their own as a refreshing dessert, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of coconut yogurt for extra creaminess. A light mint tea or a citrus-infused sparkling water pairs well with the vibrant flavors of the parfait, enhancing its refreshing quality. For a more elaborate presentation, serve the parfaits in glass cups or jars to showcase the beautiful layers and colors. This not only makes for a visually appealing dessert but also allows guests to appreciate the intricate layers with every spoonful.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover parfaits in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days. For best results, store them in airtight containers to preserve their freshness and prevent the avocado from browning. If the layers start to separate, simply give them a gentle stir before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the avocado and chia seeds may alter upon thawing. Keeping them chilled will ensure they maintain their creamy consistency and vibrant flavors.
