Ingredients
  

For the Coconut Layer:

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (for rich creaminess)

1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons chia seeds

For the Mango Layer:

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (set aside a few cubes for garnish)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, depending on the sweetness of the mangoes)

For Layering:

1/4 cup granola (for an added crunch)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coconut Layer:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, shredded coconut, maple syrup (or honey), pure vanilla extract, and chia seeds until fully combined.

      - Allow the mixture to sit for approximately 10 minutes, giving the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.

        Prepare the Mango Layer:

          - In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, fresh lime juice, and honey (if using). Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

            - Taste the mango puree and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup, if necessary.

              Assemble the Parfait:

                - Choose your serving glasses or jars, and begin by spooning a generous layer of the coconut mixture into the bottom of each glass.

                  - Follow this with an equally generous layer of the mango puree.

                    - Alternate layers of coconut and mango until the glasses are filled to your desired height, finishing with a mango layer on top.

                      Add Final Touches:

                        - Sprinkle a layer of granola over the top of each parfait for a delightful crunch that complements the creaminess.

                          - Garnish with the reserved mango cubes and a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

                            Chill and Serve:

                              - Place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

                                - Serve chilled and indulge in the delightful tropical flavors that await!
