Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk chilled and shaken well
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granola for crunch

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Parfait glasses or jars
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Place the chilled coconut milk in a mixing bowl and add maple syrup along with vanilla extract.
  2. Use a whisk to beat the coconut milk mixture vigorously for 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy, resembling whipped cream.
  3. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries, mixing just enough to combine while keeping the cream airy.
  4. Spoon a layer of the strawberry coconut mixture into the bottom of each parfait glass or jar.
  5. Add a handful of granola over the first layer for added crunch and texture.
  6. Repeat the layering process—coconut strawberry mixture followed by granola—until the glasses are filled to the top.
  7. Finish with a final dollop of whipped coconut cream and a few strawberry slices for decoration.
  8. Serve immediately for the freshest texture, or chill for 20 minutes if you prefer it colder and more set.

Notes

You can customize this parfait with additional toppings like toasted coconut, mint leaves, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
