Savor a refreshing Matcha Mango Tapioca Parfait, a healthy dessert bursting with antioxidants and tropical flavors. Perfect for guilt-free indulgence!
Ingredients
- • tapioca pearls: 1/2 cup
- • water: 4 cups
- • coconut milk: 1 cup
- • matcha powder: 2 teaspoons
- • honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • ripe mango: 1, diced
- • chia seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by soaking the tapioca pearls in water for about 15 minutes. This will help them expand and cook evenly.
- 2 In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked tapioca pearls and simmer on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, about 10 minutes.
- 3 Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch. Transfer them to a bowl and mix with coconut milk, matcha powder, and honey or maple syrup. Stir until well combined.
- 4 In a serving glass, layer the matcha tapioca mixture alternately with diced mango and a sprinkle of chia seeds. Repeat layers until the glass is full, ending with a generous layer of diced mango on top.
- 5 Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving. Enjoy this parfait chilled for the best flavor experience.
Serving Suggestions
- • This vibrant parfait is best served as a refreshing conclusion to a light meal or as a midday snack that keeps you energized. Pair it with a soothing cup of herbal tea to enhance the flavors of matcha and mango. You can also sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes for an added tropical flair. For a brunch gathering, serve this parfait alongside a platter of fresh fruit and a selection of nuts, providing a balanced and nutritious spread. A light, sparkling water infused with lime or mint complements the dessert beautifully, keeping the palate refreshed.
Storage Tips
To store the parfait, cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days. The tapioca may thicken slightly, so give it a gentle stir before serving. To maintain freshness, add the mint garnish just before serving.
