Layer the components in glass jars or cups for an elegant presentation. For best texture, assemble just before serving. Leftover elements can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 2 days. For a nut-free version, ensure all ingredients (especially coconut milk and seeds) are safe for your dietary needs. You can substitute other fresh fruits for garnish based on seasonality.
