Mango Parfait

 

INGREDIENTS

• 2–3 fresh mangos, (we used ‘champagne’ mangoes)
• 1 C dried mango, soaked for at least an hour to soften
• 2 T agave
• A handful of toasted coconut flakes

Method :

1. Slice the sides away from each mango and discard the center with the stone to the side. To peel the flesh from the skin the kid-safe, knife-free way, take a drinking glass and press down the skin against the rim of the glass and push down so that the flesh slides away from the skin and into the glass.

2. Chop mango halves into small pieces and carefully slice the remaining mango away from the sides of the pit. Set aside the fresh chopped pieces for layering in your parfaits.
3. In a food processor, blend soaked dried mango and chopped fresh mango with agave, until smooth, to make a mango paste.
4. Layer fresh mango, mango paste, cashew vanilla cream, and chia pudding in single-serving bowls and top with toasted coconut flakes.
