Vegan Coffee Chia Parfait Recipe
Do you love waking up to coffee? Now you can also eat it for breakfast. Make this delicious chia instant coffee parfait.
What is Parfait?
Parfait is a refrigerated layered dessert from France. The name in French means literally, something perfect (which we couldn't agree more). According to history, it was first served in 1894 and made from a base of sugar syrup, egg, and cream.
The American version of parfait can include additional ingredients such as granola, nuts and yogurt, topped with fruit or whipped cream. It is very easy to make and customize, like we did with this vegan version.
Why Chia Seeds?
Chia seeds are tiny seeds that soak up liquid and turn soft and gel-like, which is what gives chia pudding its thick, spoonable texture. They don't taste like much on their own, so they take on the flavor of whatever you mix them with.
That makes them a perfect match for coffee. Combined with your favorite instant coffee, this recipe is just a great and easy breakfast option.
