Print Recipe

A creamy, dreamy chia parfait made with full-fat coconut milk and ripe mango, layered into a beautiful breakfast that tastes like a tropical vacation. Ready in 5 minutes and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup (40g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large or 2 small ripe mangoes (about 1½ cups diced)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) coconut cream (from top of chilled coconut milk can, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)
  • Fresh mango cubes for topping (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  2. Peel and dice the mango. Reserve about ¼ cup of the prettiest cubes for topping. Place the remaining mango in a blender or food processor with fresh lime juice. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and add a splash of maple syrup if needed.
  3. In jars or glasses, layer chia pudding and mango puree, starting and ending with chia pudding. Use about 2-3 tablespoons of each per layer, repeating until the jar is full. For a swirled look, gently drag a knife through the layers.
  4. Top with reserved mango cubes, toasted coconut flakes, and chopped pistachios if using. Serve cold. For best results, chill assembled parfaits for another 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, use full-fat coconut milk and let the chia pudding rest overnight. Whisk twice to avoid clumps. Store toppings separately to keep them crunchy. The parfait keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.
