Ingredients
Scale
- Chia Pudding:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Banana Mousse:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the chia seeds with almond milk in a medium-sized bowl. Stir in honey and vanilla extract, ensuring the seeds are uniformly distributed. Let this mixture sit for at least two hours in the refrigerator. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency, essential for that creamy texture.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl until you reach a smooth consistency. Gently fold in the whipped cream, adding sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste. Combine until just incorporated, preserving the airy texture of the mousse.
- Begin layering in serving glasses by first pouring in the chia pudding, followed by the banana mousse. Continue alternating layers to create a visually appealing parfait. For a final touch, garnish with additional banana slices or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Notes
For a thicker pudding, reduce the amount of milk or let the chia seeds sit longer. Omit the honey or sugar for a completely natural sugar delight.
