Pomegranate Chia Pudding Parfait
Description
This parfait starts with chia pudding prepared by soaking chia seeds in almond milk mixed with maple syrup and vanilla. The pudding thickens after a resting period in the refrigerator, producing a gel-like, creamy texture from the hydrated seeds. The parfait is assembled by layering dairy or dairy-free yogurt with portions of the chia pudding, fresh pomegranate seeds, and sliced almonds in a glass jar or cup.
The tartness and juiciness of pomegranate seeds contrast with the soft pudding, while the almonds supply a crunchy texture. Vanilla and maple syrup lightly sweeten the pudding, supporting the natural flavors without overwhelming. The parfait can be served immediately or chilled ahead for convenience, making it suitable for breakfast, snacks, or a light dessert.
Ingredients
For the chia pudding
- 1 cup almond milk or other milk of choice
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the parfaits
- ½ cup yogurt dairy or dairy-free
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- ¼ cup almonds sliced
Instructions
- To make the chia pudding: Stir together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Let rest for 10 minutes, then stir again once the seeds have started to gel. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least one hour.
- To assemble the parfaits: Dollop yogurt in the bottom of a glass jar. Top that with a few spoonfuls of chia pudding, then a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, a sprinkle of almond slices, more chia pudding, yogurt, and pomegranate seeds.
- Serve immediately or make the chia pudding parfaits ahead of time and place in the fridge until ready to serve.
