A refreshing and light tropical parfait featuring creamy coconut lime chia pudding layered with juicy mango chunks and crunchy toasted coconut. Perfect for a quick breakfast or guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup (80 g) chia seeds
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup (40 g) unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, fresh lime juice, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir in chia seeds and whisk well to prevent clumps.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the pudding set. Stir after 30 minutes if clumps form.
  4. Peel and dice the mango into bite-sized pieces while the pudding sets.
  5. Toast coconut flakes in a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
  6. Assemble the parfaits by layering coconut lime chia pudding, diced mango, and toasted coconut flakes in serving glasses. Repeat layers if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate for another 30 minutes to meld flavors. Keep toasted coconut separate until serving to maintain crunch.

Notes

Whisk vigorously to avoid chia seed clumps. Toast coconut flakes carefully to avoid burning. Use ripe mango for best flavor. Parfait can be stored up to 3 days refrigerated; stir before serving if too thick. Keep toasted coconut separate until serving to maintain crunch.
