Indulge in creamy mango chia parfaits with a spicy twist. Discover a healthy dessert with fresh fruits, spices, and plant-based goodness!
Ingredients
- • ripe mangoes: 2, peeled and diced
- • chia seeds: 1/4 cup
- • almond milk: 1 1/2 cups
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • ground cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/4 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • toasted coconut flakes: 1/4 cup
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, ground cardamom, ground ginger, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and the spices are well mixed.
- 2 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
- 3 While the pudding is setting, prepare the mango by peeling and dicing it into small cubes. Divide the mango cubes into two portions: one for layering and one for topping.
- 4 Once the chia pudding is ready, layer it into serving glasses or bowls by alternating between the chia pudding and diced mangoes. Start with a layer of chia pudding, followed by mango, and repeat until the glasses are filled.
- 5 Top each parfait with the remaining mango cubes, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, and a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Spiced Mango & Chia Pudding Parfaits are best enjoyed chilled, making them an ideal dessert for warm days. Pair them with a cup of herbal tea like chamomile or mint to complement the aromatic spices and enhance the tropical vibe. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving alongside a small handful of mixed berries for added color and nutrition. If you're hosting a gathering, these parfaits can also be served in individual dessert glasses for a sophisticated presentation. Their vibrant colors and layered composition will surely impress your guests and provide a healthy alternative to traditional desserts.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover parfaits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain their freshness and prevent the mango from becoming overly soft, consider storing the diced mango separately and assembling the parfaits just before serving. If the chia pudding thickens too much over time, simply stir in a splash of almond milk to adjust the consistency before consuming.
