Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (canned or freshly extracted)

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 into small cubes

1/2 cup granola (your choice of flavor)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for optional 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 the mixture vigorously until all ingredients are well integrated, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.

    Let It Set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the coconut milk, transforming the mixture into a thick, pudding-like consistency.

      Mango Preparation: While your chia pudding is setting, take the ripe mango, peel it, and carefully dice it into small, uniform cubes. Set these aside in a bowl as they will be layered into your parfait.

        Assemble the Parfait: Once the chia pudding has thickened, take a serving glass or a bowl for layering. Start with a generous layer of chia pudding at the bottom.

          Layer the Ingredients: Next, add a layer of the diced mango, followed by a sprinkle of granola for texture. Repeat the layering process with more chia pudding, diced mango, and granola until the glass is filled to your desired height.

            Garnish: For the finishing touch, sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of your parfait. If desired, add a few fresh mint leaves to enhance both the flavor and presentation with a pop of color.

              Serve: Your delightful parfait can be enjoyed immediately, or, for enhanced flavor melding, chill it for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
