Fig & Chia Parfait

Prep Time 20 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

For the chia pudding-

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the yogurt layer-

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp blackberry jam (blueberry is great too)

To assemble-

  • 4 fresh, ripe figs (plus a few more for garnish if desired)
  • 1-2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl stir all the ingredients for the chia pudding together until well combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4-6 hours.

  2. Once the chia pudding has chilled and thickened, stir the yogurt together with the blackberry jam. Set aside.

  3. Cut two of the figs into quarters and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash to make somewhat of a thick puree.

  4. Slice the other two figs into about 4 slices each for the sides of the jars.

  5. To assemble- in two small jars or glasses, line the sides with the sliced figs, pressing so each one sticks. Carefully spoon half of the chia pudding into each jar and gently spread to level. Then add the mashed fig puree followed by the yogurt. Garnish the tops with a few fig segments and some pumpkin seeds if desired. Enjoy immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to about 4 days.

Recipe Notes

*I used regular yogurt, but greek would work too.

*Granola is great on top for a more substantial meal.
