Raspberry Chia Cheesecake-Inspired Parfait

These four parfaits alternate vanilla chia pudding, a cooked raspberry sauce, and a cream cheese–Greek yogurt layer. The chia needs at least four hours in the refrigerator, so prepare that component first.

Ingredients

Chia pudding

  • ¼ cup (40 g) chia seeds
  • 1½ cups (360 ml) almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar substitute
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Raspberry layer

  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar substitute, optional
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water

Creamy layer

  • 1 cup (240 g) non-fat cream cheese
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar substitute
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice, optional

Prepare the Layers

  1. Whisk the chia seeds, almond milk, two tablespoons sugar substitute, and vanilla. Rest 5–10 minutes, stir, then refrigerate at least four hours or overnight.
  2. Cook the raspberries, optional one tablespoon sugar substitute, and water over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until broken down and slightly thickened. Cool completely; mash or briefly blend for a smoother sauce.
  3. Mix the cream cheese, yogurt, two tablespoons sugar substitute, and optional lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Layer the cooled sauce, creamy mixture, and chia pudding in four glasses or jars. Repeat the layers.
  5. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
