Indulge in a healthy dessert with our Sweet Potato & Chia Pudding Parfait, layered with spiced blueberry compote. Nutritious, creamy, and guilt-free!
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and cubed
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1 cup
- • chia seeds: 1/4 cup
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • blueberries: 1 cup, fresh or frozen
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/4 teaspoon
- • lemon zest: 1 teaspoon
- • water: 1/4 cup
Instructions
- 1 Start by steaming the cubed sweet potatoes until they are tender, about 10 minutes. This method preserves the nutrients while softening the sweet potatoes for a creamy pudding base.
- 2 Once steamed, place the sweet potatoes in a blender with almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, then transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- 3 Stir in the chia seeds until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to expand and thicken the pudding.
- 4 Prepare the spiced blueberry compote by heating the blueberries, water, cinnamon, ginger, and lemon zest in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- 5 To assemble the parfaits, layer the chia pudding with the spiced blueberry compote in individual glasses or bowls. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for a chilled dessert.
Serving Suggestions
- • For an extra touch of freshness, garnish your parfaits with a sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds. Pair this dessert with a cup of herbal tea, like chamomile or mint, to complement the warm spices and calming flavors. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a layer of toasted coconut flakes for a tropical twist. This dessert is perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy winter evening, offering a versatile treat that's both refreshing and comforting. The vibrant layers make for an eye-catching presentation, ensuring it's as delightful to look at as it is to eat.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover parfaits in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chia pudding will continue to thicken, so you might want to add a splash of almond milk to loosen it before serving. The spiced blueberry compote can also be stored separately for up to a week, making it a convenient topping for other dishes like yogurt or oatmeal.
