Description
This Overnight Chocolate Chia & Berry Parfait is a creamy, chocolatey, and nutritious make-ahead treat layered with tangy yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy cacao nibs. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a healthy dessert.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1¼ cups unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as coconut milk)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ cup fresh assorted berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate arils)
- ½ cup plain non-dairy yogurt (e.g., almond milk yogurt)
- 1 tbsp cacao nibs
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, cacao powder, non-dairy milk, and maple syrup until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours) to allow the mixture to thicken.
- In the morning, stir the pudding to loosen. Divide into two bowls or glasses.
- Top each with yogurt, fresh berries, and cacao nibs.
Notes
- Use almond, oat, or soy milk instead of coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
- For extra richness, stir in 1 tbsp nut butter before chilling.
- Substitute cacao nibs with dark chocolate chips, granola, or nuts for crunch.
- Add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup before serving for more sweetness.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but pudding base can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
