Indulge in a guilt-free, nutrient-packed mango and sweet potato frozen parfait. Perfectly balanced for a healthy dessert!
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and diced
- • ripe mangoes: 2, peeled and diced
- • coconut milk: 1 cup (unsweetened)
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • shredded coconut: 1/2 cup
- • lime zest: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Start by steaming the diced sweet potatoes until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Allow them to cool completely before proceeding.
- 2 In a blender, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, diced mangoes, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 3 Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or individual serving cups and place in the freezer. Freeze for about 3 hours, or until the parfait is firm but scoopable.
- 4 While the parfait is freezing, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 5 Once the parfait is ready, scoop it into serving bowls or glasses, and garnish with toasted coconut and a sprinkle of lime zest for a refreshing finish.
Serving Suggestions
- • This parfait is best enjoyed as a refreshing dessert after a light meal. Pair it with a green tea or a hibiscus iced tea to complement the tropical flavors and enhance the overall experience. For an added layer of indulgence, consider serving with a dollop of coconut cream or a side of fresh berries. The vibrant colors and textures of this dessert make it a beautiful addition to any summer gathering or a healthy treat for a cozy night in. It's an excellent choice for those who want a dessert that satisfies without compromising on health.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To maintain the smooth texture, allow the parfait to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. Avoid refreezing if the parfait has fully thawed to preserve its quality and texture.
