Indulge in a nutrient-packed Jackfruit-Berry Parfait with Quinoa Crunch for a healthy dessert that delights your taste buds and nourishes your body.
Ingredients
- • jackfruit (fresh or canned): 2 cups, chopped
- • mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries): 1 cup
- • plain Greek yogurt: 1 cup
- • cooked quinoa: 1/2 cup
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • chia seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • lemon zest: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare the quinoa crunch. Spread the cooked quinoa on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 2 In a small bowl, mix honey, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Drizzle this mixture over the quinoa, tossing to coat evenly.
- 3 Bake the quinoa mixture in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Stir halfway through to ensure even baking. Remove from oven and let cool.
- 4 In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped jackfruit and mixed berries. Add lemon zest and gently toss to blend the flavors.
- 5 In four serving glasses, layer the parfait starting with a spoonful of Greek yogurt. Add a layer of the jackfruit-berry mixture, followed by a sprinkle of quinoa crunch.
- 6 Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a topping of quinoa crunch. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this Exotic Jackfruit-Berry Parfait with Quinoa Crunch as a delightful standalone dessert that captures the essence of tropical flavors. Accompany it with a side of freshly brewed herbal tea or a chilled glass of coconut water to complement the fruity notes. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a few edible flowers, enhancing the visual appeal and making it a perfect choice for special occasions or a healthy indulgence after meals.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, cover the parfait glasses with plastic wrap or transfer the contents to airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to two days. For best results, keep the quinoa crunch separate until ready to serve to maintain its crispiness. If the parfait becomes too moist, simply add a fresh layer of quinoa crunch before enjoying.
