Ingredients:
For the Chilled Mango Pudding Base:
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage (from a carton)
1/2 cup tapioca pearls, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup agar flakes (or powder dissolved in water)
1 ripe medium mango, peeled, pitted, and sliced into small pieces
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Coconut Whipped Cream:
1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
Confectioners’ sugar, for serving (optional)
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. To make the chilled mango pudding base, combine the first four ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into a large bowl or container and stir in the mango pieces, lime juice, and maple syrup (if using). Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the coconut whipped cream by opening the can of coconut milk and scooping out the solidified portion (this should float to the top when refrigerated). Place the solids in a mixing bowl and beat vigorously with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy and soft peaks form. Set aside.
Note: If you prefer a more whipped consistency, you may also use a handheld mixer instead.
4. To assemble the parfaits, divide the mango pudding mixture among six glasses or ramekins. Top each one with about 1/3 cup of the fluffy coconut whipped cream. Gently press down on the whipped cream to create an even layer.
5. Arrange additional fresh fruit such as blueberries, strawberries, and kiwi on top of the coconut whipped cream. You can also drizzle a little bit of melted dark chocolate (vegan variety) if desired.
