Cherry Coconut Chia Pudding Parfaits are made of creamy coconut chia pudding, layered with an easy 10 minute homemade cherry compote. They’re completely healthy yet still indulgent, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!
Ingredients:
For the pudding:
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
For the compote:
- 2 cups of fresh or frozen pitted cherries (thawed if frozen)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Toasted coconut for garnish
Instructions:
For the pudding:
- Place the coconut milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Stir until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
Prepare the compote:
- Place the cherries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the cherries soften and the juices thicken up slightly, about 10 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Cool completely. The compote will thicken as it cools.
Assemble the parfaits:
- Give the pudding a good stir in the morning. If you’d like different colors of pudding, add some of the cherry juice to half of the chia pudding. Layer in jars or glass dishes, alternating with the compote and pudding. Top with a bit of compote and toasted coconut flakes. Enjoy!
