HOW TO MAKE IT
STEP 1
In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
STEP 2
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
STEP 3
Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
STEP 4
In serving glasses or jars, layer the chia pudding and fresh raspberries alternately. Start with a layer of chia pudding at the bottom, then add a layer of raspberries. Repeat until the glasses are filled.
STEP 5
Garnish the parfaits with shredded coconut and fresh mint leaves for added texture and freshness.
STEP 6
Refrigerate the Raspberry Coconut Chia Pudding Parfait for an additional 30 minutes to chill before serving.
STEP 7
Serve the parfaits chilled and enjoy the creamy and fruity goodness of this delightful vegan dessert.
Bon appétit!
