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.

Lemon Coconut Cupcakes
This is a great cupcake recipe that I created. Lemon and coconut together is such a tasty combo. You can substitute lime zest for the lemon zest in the frosting to make lime coconut cupcakes instead. You can also add no zest at all to make regular coconut cupcakes.
Easy Mojitos
An easy mojito recipe to enjoy at home. It's hard to find mojitos at any of the restaurants in the small town I'm in, and when I tried to make my own using club soda, they never seemed to turn out right. Using lemon-lime soda instead also cuts down on the amount of sugar usually used.
Simple Coconut Cake
This simple coconut cake recipe is one of my favorites because I love coconut. The recipe has been mostly eyeing the ingredients, so I tried to write a recipe. This has been in my family for years.
