Vegan Apple-Yogurt Parfait with Maca Powder
When it comes to presenting dessert to guests, there is nothing like a jaw-dropping, multi-layered parfait. And this low-fat version of the classic, with apple sauce, coconut yogurt, maca powder, and lots of other whole ingredients, is a winner! I am slightly obsessed with coconut yogurt and with making my own carob nutella… so towering these 2 ingredients in a delicious parfait enriched with a hint of Austrian apple strudel was a temptation I couldn't resist.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons carob powder
- 2 teaspoons cacao powder
- 0.25 cups coconut milk
Instructions
-
1
Combine carob powder and cacao powder in a small bowl. Add coconut milk little by little, mixing well until no lumps remain.
-
2
Mix applesauce and maca powder together in a bowl. Add raisins and 1 teaspoon maple syrup.
-
3
Mix shredded coconut and 2 teaspoons maple syrup together in a bowl.
-
4
Spoon layers of 1 tablespoon each carob mixture, maple coconut flakes, maca applesauce, and coconut yogurt, in that order, into 4 digestif glasses or small wine glasses. Cover the parfaits and refrigerate until very cold, at least 4 hours.
-
5
Decorate parfaits with figs, strawberries, and shaved chocolate.

These drinks can be deceivingly strong. They are very sweet and fruity tasting. So don't drink and drive. Serve with great food and enjoy. I recommend using cherry or apricot brandy.
Shichimi-Seared Pork Tenderloin
Asian flavors and French technique come together to make a great dish. You can also use chicken, scallops, or most types of hearty fish (i.e. tuna, salmon, etc.) to make this.
Chicken Adobo with Coconut Milk (Adobo sa Gata)
In the Philippines, adobo is both a beloved cooking technique and a tangy marinated and braised meat dish. It's akin to the French coq au vin, but with a flavor all its own. You can use different types of meat or fish, but chicken is a favorite. Serve with steamed or fried rice.
