ingredients you’ll need

For the chia pudding, you’ll need yogurt of choice, milk of choice, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

For the cherry banana soft serve, you’ll need frozen bananas, frozen tart cherries, tahini, and a pinch of salt.

For serving, you’ll need granola and hemp.

the method

The night before, whisk together the yogurt, milk, chia, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Transfer into a jar, secure the lid, and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, make the cherry banana soft serve: In a food processor fitted with the ‘S’ blade, combine the frozen bananas, cherries, tahini, and salt. Blend until a smooth, soft serve ice cream consistency is reached. Do not over-blend; you still want it to be frozen.

To make the parfaits, alternate layers of chia pudding and soft serve in two parfait glasses or jars. Top with granola and hemp. Eat!
