Description

This Pomegranate Chia Pudding Parfait is a refreshing and nutritious layered treat combining creamy chia pudding, tangy yogurt, crunchy almonds, and juicy pomegranate seeds. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or a healthy dessert, it’s easy to prepare and can be made ahead for convenience.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding

  • 1 cup almond milk (or other milk of choice)
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Parfait Layers

  • ½ cup yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Make chia pudding: In a bowl, stir together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps and help the seeds start to gel.
  2. Refrigerate the pudding: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a thick pudding texture.
  3. Assemble the parfait: In serving glasses or jars, start by dolloping some yogurt at the bottom. Add a few spoonfuls of the chia pudding on top, then sprinkle some pomegranate seeds and sliced almonds. Repeat with another layer of chia pudding, yogurt, and finish with pomegranate seeds and almonds as garnish.
  4. Serve or store: Serve the parfaits immediately for a fresh experience or prepare them ahead of time and keep them refrigerated until ready to enjoy. This makes for a convenient and healthy make-ahead breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk alternative or dairy milk based on preference.
  • For a sweeter parfait, add more maple syrup or layer with fresh fruit.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt to keep the recipe vegan.
  • Letting chia pudding rest longer (up to overnight) improves texture.
  • Store assembled parfaits covered in the fridge for up to 2 days for best freshness.
