Indulge in healthy bliss with these Tropical Matcha Chia Parfaits. Fresh, vibrant, and nutrient-rich, they redefine dessert with every spoonful.
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1 1/2 cups
- • matcha powder: 2 teaspoons
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • coconut yogurt: 1 cup
- • ripe mango, diced: 1 cup
- • passion fruit pulp: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • fresh mint leaves for garnish: optional
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, matcha powder, and maple syrup until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- 2 Once the chia pudding is set, stir to ensure even distribution of the matcha and chia seeds. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- 3 To assemble the parfaits, layer the bottom of each serving glass with a few tablespoons of coconut yogurt. Follow with a layer of matcha chia pudding, then a layer of diced mango.
- 4 Drizzle with passion fruit pulp and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a drizzle of passion fruit and a sprinkle of coconut.
- 5 Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately for a refreshing treat. Alternatively, cover and chill the parfaits until ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Tropical Matcha Chia Parfaits are perfect on their own, but for an extra splash of flavor, serve them alongside a chilled green tea or a sparkling water infused with lime and mint. For a more substantial dessert, pair them with a small bowl of mixed berries or a side of sliced kiwi to enhance the tropical theme. The vibrant colors and flavors make these parfaits an excellent choice for a summer dessert table or a healthy brunch spread. They can also be served as a light dessert after a savory meal, adding a refreshing end to your dining experience.
Storage Tips
To store these parfaits, cover them with plastic wrap or transfer them to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to three days. The chia pudding can be prepared in advance and stored separately from the yogurt and fruit layers. This will help maintain the freshness and texture of each component. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the chia seeds and the creaminess of the yogurt may be altered.
