Indulge in a nutrient-rich Jackfruit & Chia Pudding Parfait with Spiced Coconut Cream, a healthy dessert bursting with tropical flavors.
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened almond milk: 2 cups
- • ripe jackfruit: 1 cup, chopped
- • coconut milk: 1 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/4 teaspoon
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • shredded coconut: 1/4 cup (for garnish)
- • fresh mint leaves: a few sprigs (for garnish)
- • toasted pecans: 1/4 cup, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Begin by preparing the chia pudding. In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- 2 While the chia pudding sets, prepare the spiced coconut cream. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and maple syrup. Stir gently until well mixed and slightly warmed. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- 3 Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a good stir to break up any clumps. Then, layer the pudding in glasses, alternating with layers of chopped jackfruit and spiced coconut cream.
- 4 Top each parfait with a sprinkle of shredded coconut, a few fresh mint leaves, and a handful of toasted pecans for crunch and extra flavor.
- 5 Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Enjoy the refreshing burst of tropical goodness in every bite.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Jackfruit & Chia Pudding Parfait pairs wonderfully with a fresh herbal tea, such as chamomile or peppermint, which complements the tropical and spiced notes. For a more indulgent experience, serve alongside a small glass of coconut water infused with a hint of lime for a refreshing finish. Garnish with additional mint or edible flowers for a visually stunning presentation that elevates the dining experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover parfait in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain the freshness of the toppings, store shredded coconut and toasted pecans separately and add them just before serving. This ensures the parfait retains its delightful textures and flavors.
