Chocolate Chia Parfait with Cashew Cream

Recipe by The Healthful Ideas

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.

Instructions

  1. Start by making the cashew cream. While the nuts are soaking, make the chia pudding and the berry sauce, and then finish the cashew cream recipe.

CHIA PUDDING:

  1. In a glass jar mix the chia seeds, milk, and maple syrup. Stir to combine and let soak for 10 minutes, stirring every so often to avoid lumps.
  2. When the chia seeds start turning into a pudding, add the powders and stir until well incorporated.
  3. Place in the fridge to chill and allow to soak for at least 20 minutes.
  4. Store in the fridge for 2-3 days.

BERRY SAUCE:

  1. Put the berries and maple syrup in a small saucepan with a splash of water and bring to a soft boil.
  2. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the berries soften a little. The time may vary depending on whether you use fresh or frozen fruit.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Set aside to soak.
  4. Pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.

  6. Make the cashew sauce and put it into the fridge to cool.
  7. When you're ready to put it all together, start layering the chia pudding, cashew cream, and berry sauce evenly into two glasses.
  8. Additionally, you can add fresh figs, dates, nuts, seeds, nut butter, or more berries in between the layers. Top with fresh berries or chocolate sauce and devour!
