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.

This sheet pan chicken and chickpeas is well-spiced with a little heat that builds as you eat it. The chicken is moist and flavorful, the carrots and onion are tender, and chickpeas taste wonderfully rich roasted in the mixture of spices. A squeeze of lime and cilantro at the end add a bright pop.
