Description

Ingredients

• CHIA PUDDING:
• 3 TB chia seed
• 1 cup + 2 TB of unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton) or other non-dairy milk
• A tiny splash of vanilla extract
• A sprinkle of salt (I do 1 grind from my Himalayan pink salt grinder)
• A tiny sprinkle of cinnamon
• MANGO LAYERS:
• 1 big mango, peeled and chopped
• VANILLA COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM:
• 1 can of classic, full-fat coconut milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Liquid regular or vanilla-flavored stevia (about 2-3 drops) or maple syrup to taste

Directions

• Combine the chia pudding ingredients in a small jar or tupperware, stir, and let sit in the fridge overnight (or at least 3 hours). Also refrigerate the can of coconut milk at least overnight.
• The next day, add 1-2 more TB of unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton) to the chia pudding and stir til combined. Put to the side.
• Add 1 cup of chopped mango to your food processor and puree until smooth. Set to the side. Keep the rest of the chopped mango to the side.
• Open the can of coconut milk, scoop out the thick cream from the top (be careful not to get any of the liquid - you only want the cream), and put into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Try not to get any liquid into the mixing bowl (save the liquid for using in smoothies!). Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the coconut milk until it becomes a whipped cream (takes a couple of minutes – stay with it.) Add in ½ tsp vanilla extract and the regular or vanilla-flavored stevia, or maple syrup, to taste (depends on your coconut milk brand) and whip it once more with your hand mixer to combine it all together. Taste and adjust as needed. Put to the side.
• Now you have your layers: chia pudding, pureed mango, chopped mango, and vanilla coconut cream.
• Have fun with it! Put each layer in a glass, bowl, or jar until you have a parfait. Just keep in mind that the heaviest layer is the chia pudding and the lightest is the mango puree and coconut cream. Mine goes: chia pudding on bottom then chopped mango, vanilla coconut cream, and pureed mango then repeat to the top of your glass, bowl, or jar.
• Top with a layer of vanilla coconut cream and chopped mango, and garnish with shredded coconut if you wish!
• Cover and store in the fridge for to 2-3 days.
