Indulge in a nutritious, exotic chia-coconut mango parfait with spiced berry compote. Perfect healthy dessert for wellness enthusiasts. Try now!
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • coconut milk: 1 cup (unsweetened)
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • ripe mango: 1 large, diced
- • mixed berries: 1 cup (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cardamom: 1/4 teaspoon
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all seeds are evenly coated and not clumping together. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia pudding to set.
- 2 While the chia pudding is chilling, prepare the spiced berry compote. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- 3 Once the chia pudding is set, give it a good stir and taste. Adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup. To assemble the parfaits, layer the chia pudding with diced mango and spiced berry compote in serving glasses.
- 4 Garnish each parfait with a few fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Chia-Coconut Mango Parfait is beautifully complemented by a side of lightly toasted coconut flakes for added texture. Pair with a herbal tea such as chamomile or a refreshing iced green tea for a complete, health-conscious dessert experience. Enhance the tropical theme by serving alongside a small bowl of fresh pineapple slices. For a sophisticated presentation, consider serving your parfaits in clear glasses or mason jars to showcase the vibrant layers. A silver dessert spoon and a sprig of mint on the side elevate the dish, making it a delightful choice for brunch or a light dinner party finale.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, cover the parfait glasses with plastic wrap or transfer the parfaits to an airtight container. They will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The chia pudding may thicken over time, so give it a good stir before serving. You can also store the spiced berry compote separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days, which can be reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave before layering.
