Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (canned or fresh)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1/2 cup granola (your choice for added crunch)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are well mixed and the chia seeds are evenly incorporated to prevent clumping.

    Let It Set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the coconut milk, resulting in a thick, pudding-like consistency.

      Mango Preparation: While the chia pudding is chilling, peel and carefully dice the ripe mango into small, uniform cubes. Set aside in a small bowl, ensuring the pieces remain fresh.

        Assemble the Parfait: Once the chia pudding has thickened, take a glass or a bowl for serving. Start by adding a generous layer of chia pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of the diced mango, and then a sprinkle of granola for a delightful crunch.

          Repeat the Layers: Continue building your parfait by layering more chia pudding, followed by mango, and then granola, until you reach the top of the glass, ensuring a visually appealing presentation.

            Garnish: To complete your parfait, sprinkle shredded coconut on top and, if desired, add a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

              Serve: You can enjoy your parfait immediately, or for enhanced flavor melding, chill it in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
