Description

This refreshing Blackberry Parfait is a delightful vegan dessert or breakfast option that layers fresh blackberries, creamy plain vegan yogurt, chia jam, and soaked raw buckwheat groats for a nutritious and flavorful treat. With an easy overnight soaking step, this parfait requires minimal active preparation time and delivers a balance of textures and natural sweetness.

Ingredients

Fruits and Jam

  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blackberries
  • 6-8 tablespoons chia jam

Dairy Alternative

  • 1 ¾ cup (400g) plain vegan yogurt

Grains

  • 4 tablespoons raw buckwheat groats (for soaking)

Instructions

  1. Soak Buckwheat Groats: Place the raw buckwheat groats in a bowl and cover with water by a couple of inches. Allow soaking for 4 to 8 hours or overnight to soften the grains.
  2. Rinse and Drain: After soaking, thoroughly rinse the buckwheat groats under running water until the sliminess disappears. Drain completely and set aside.
  3. Layer Parfait: Begin layering each serving glass by adding a tablespoon of chia jam at the bottom, followed by a handful of fresh blackberries. Next, spoon in a layer of plain vegan yogurt, then add a heaped tablespoon of the soaked buckwheat groats.
  4. Add Final Layers: Continue by adding another layer of chia jam and finishing with a final layer of vegan yogurt on top.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top each parfait with a few blackberries and a fresh mint leaf or two for an appealing presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious parfait.

Notes

  • Soaking the buckwheat groats overnight improves their texture and digestibility.
  • Ensure to rinse buckwheat groats well after soaking to remove the natural sliminess.
  • You can substitute vegan yogurt with any dairy or plant-based yogurt of your choice.
  • Adjust the amount of chia jam based on your preferred level of sweetness.
  • For added crunch, consider topping with nuts or seeds if desired.
