Indulge in a nutritious Exotic Jackfruit Mango Chia Parfait. Packed with tropical flavors and superfoods, it's a refreshing, healthy dessert treat.
Ingredients
- • jackfruit: 1 cup (fresh or canned, drained and chopped)
- • mango: 1 cup (fresh, diced)
- • chia seeds: 1/4 cup
- • coconut milk: 1 cup (unsweetened)
- • honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • granola: 1/2 cup (your choice, preferably low sugar)
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
- 2 Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 1 hour.
- 3 While the chia pudding is setting, prepare the fruits. Chop the jackfruit and dice the mango into small, bite-sized pieces, ensuring freshness for the parfait.
- 4 Once the chia pudding is ready, layer the dessert. Start with a spoonful of chia pudding at the bottom of a glass, followed by a layer of mango and then jackfruit. Repeat the layers until the glass is full.
- 5 Top each parfait with a sprinkle of granola for a delightful crunch and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Jackfruit Mango Chia Parfait pairs beautifully with a refreshing herbal tea, such as mint or chamomile, enhancing its tropical notes. For an added touch of indulgence, consider serving it alongside a small bowl of mixed berries or a light fruit salad. The vibrant colors and fresh flavors make it a perfect dessert for brunch gatherings or afternoon tea parties. To elevate the experience, serve the parfait chilled in elegant glassware, allowing guests to appreciate the layered beauty of the dessert. Its refreshing qualities make it an ideal conclusion to a light summer meal or a healthy alternative to traditional sugary desserts.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover parfaits in the refrigerator for up to two days, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If the parfait becomes too thick after refrigeration, stir in a splash of coconut milk to restore its creamy texture. It's best to add granola just before serving to ensure it remains crunchy.
