Description
It's best to prepare everything the day before so that you can just layer the parfait in the morning. You can also put everything into a bowl if you don't have time to make an actual parfait in a glass. This can be either a breakfast for 2 or a dessert for 3-4 people.

- Turn off the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Set aside to soak.
- Pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Make the cashew sauce and put it into the fridge to cool.
