Caramel Apple Pie Chia Seed Pudding Parfait (Vegan)

The chia pudding comes together with just 5 to 25 minutes of active prep
(depending on whether or not you opt for homemade coconut yogurt or
store-bought). It's made by whisking together vanilla coconut yogurt,
plant-based milk, pure maple syrup, sea salt, and chia seeds. The mixture is
refrigerated for 6 hours (give or take a few), which allows the chia seeds time
to soak and expand, thickening the mixture into a pudding-like treat. The chia
pudding is topped with vegan caramel, apples, and hemp hearts.

Breakfast Dessert Parfait Chia Seed Pudding

Instructions

1 In a medium-sized airtight container, whisk together the coconut yogurt, ¾ cup
of the plant-based milk, maple syrup, and sea salt. Add the chia seeds and whisk
until they're evenly dispersed throughout the liquid. Refrigerate for at least 6
hours to thicken.
2 Thoroughly whisk after refrigerating to redistribute the chia seeds. If it's too
thick, whisk in more plant-based milk, 1 tablespoon at a time to thin; if it's
too thin, whisk in more chia seeds, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thicken.
3 Add the apples, apple juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt to a high-speed
blender, and blend on medium-low until puréed, stopping to scrape down the sides
as needed. The texture should resemble thin applesauce.
4 You have two options for this next step. For a completely fuss-free fresh
compote, go with option 1; for a richer, thicker, and heartier compote, go with
option 2. 1) For raw compote: Transfer the mixture to a small mixing bowl, add
the ground chia, and vigorously whisk to incorporate. Let stand for 10 minutes
to thicken slightly. 2) For cooked compote: Transfer the mixture to a medium
saucepan, add the ground chia, and vigorously whisk to incorporate. Turn the
heat on medium-low, and bring the mixture to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat and
simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken and most of the
excess liquid has cooked off. Remove from the heat and cool completely before
assembling.
5 Layer the chia pudding, compote, and caramel into 4 small jars or bowls (I
recommend two layers of each or 6 layers total). You can either top (see below)
and serve immediately or cover/seal the parfaits as is, and refrigerate for up
to 4 days.
6 Just before serving, top each parfait with a few slices of the apple and 1
tablespoon of the Maple & Cinnamon Hemp Heart Toppers. If desired, finish with
another drizzle of caramel.
