Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (or milk of choice)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon butterfly pea powder
Layering & Garnish
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/2 cup fresh fruit (such as mango, kiwi, or berries)
- Dried edible flowers or coconut flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and butterfly pea powder until fully combined and evenly colored. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after the first 15 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Stir the Set Pudding: Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a good stir to ensure an even consistency.
- Layer the Parfaits: In serving glasses or jars, layer the chia pudding, granola, and fresh fruit to create parfaits. Repeat the layers if desired to build a beautiful presentation.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with a final sprinkle of fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or dried edible flowers for an elegant touch. Serve chilled and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Butterfly pea powder adds a mesmerizing blue color and is packed with antioxidants.
- For a marbled effect, swirl in a little yogurt before refrigerating.
- Using layered fruit can create an attractive ombré visual impression.
- Make sure to stir the pudding after 15 minutes of chilling to prevent chia seeds from clumping together.
