Ingredients
  

Chia pudding layer

  • 3 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 1 cup Almond milk
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Cherry layer

  • 1½ cup fresh pitted cherries plus extra for serving
  • 1 tbsp rice syrup

Instructions
 

For the chia pudding

  • In a medium bowl, add chia seeds, almond milk and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes and stir again until milk and chia seeds are well combined
  • Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes or even overnight

For the Cherry layer

  • Pit fresh cherries, and add to a small saucepan with water and rice syrup.
    On low to medium heat, let the cherries simmer until the water has become syrup-like and the cherries are soft, stir occasionally. About 5-7 minutes or so.
    Remove from heat and set aside

To assemble the parfait

  • Once the Chia pudding is set, after 30 minutes or so in the fridge, its time to assemble the parfait.
    In 2 small jars or bowls add 1/4 of the chia pudding mix, about 2 tbsps for each serving
  • Add 1/4 of coconut yoghurt, add 1/4 of cooked cherries
  • Repeat for both jars/bowls, so there is 2 layers of each chia pudding, coconut yoghurt, and cherries, finishing with the cherry layer on top.
  • Add a few fresh cherries as a garnish and sprinkle with slithered almonds. Enjoy
