Ever since I saw 
If you have never made nice cream before, it's really easy to make. Just peel, cube and freeze the bananas the night before you want to assemble this dessert. You can also make the chia seed pudding the day before.
Cherry Nice Cream
serves 2
- 2 large frozen bananas
- 1/4 cup frozen cherries
- 1/4 tsp pure cherry extract or vanilla extract
Place all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Place the nice cream into a freezer until ready to use. If the nice cream becomes too hard, you can place it in the refrigerator for approximately 15-30 minutes to soften.
Chia Seed Pudding
serves 2
- 1/2 cup oat milk or any non diary milk
- 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Slowly whisk in the chia seeds into the non dairy milk and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for a few hours so the chia seed can absorb the liquid. If you want to sweeten the pudding, just add some maple syrup to taste.
Tip: in order to disperse the chia seeds through out the non diary milk, periodically stir the pudding.
Now let's make the chocolate granola.
Chocolate Granola
- 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- 30g bittersweet vegan chocolate chopped small
Place the oats and hazelnuts on a sheet pan and place it in a preheated 350 degree F oven. Bake the oats and hazelnuts until they are golden brown. Pour the contents into a bowl and add in the chopped chocolate.
Let the chocolate soften and stir to combine. Spread the chocolate granola mixture onto a piece of wax paper or parchment paper and place into the refrigerator. To assemble the parfaits, place the chia seed pudding in the bottom of the glass and add a scoop of cherry nice cream. Top with chocolate granola. Time to dig in!
