Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, coconut, or dairy milk)
  • 1–2 teaspoons natural sweetener (maple syrup or honey, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Parfait Layers

  • 1/2 to 1 cup fresh pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chia pudding: Combine chia seeds, your choice of milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a bowl or jar. Stir thoroughly to prevent clumps and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the chia seeds expand and form a thick pudding.
  2. Prepare pomegranate seeds: Remove seeds from a fresh pomegranate carefully to avoid bitterness from the white pith. Rinse and set aside the bright, juicy arils, ready to layer later.
  3. Assemble the parfait: Start with a layer of chia pudding at the bottom of your serving glass or bowl, followed by a handful of pomegranate seeds. Repeat the layers until you reach the top, finishing with a generous sprinkle of pomegranate arils for that fresh burst.
  4. Chill and serve: For optimal flavor and texture, refrigerate the assembled parfait for 15-30 minutes before serving, allowing the layers to set together beautifully.

Notes

  • Use fresh pomegranate seeds for best crunch and sweetness compared to frozen versions.
  • Stir chia seeds several times during the first hour of soaking to avoid clumping.
  • Adjust milk thickness depending on your preferred pudding consistency.
  • Taste and adjust sweetener carefully to keep the parfait light and naturally refreshing.
  • Alternate small layers of pudding and seeds to create a visually appealing parfait.
