Keto Mulled Berry Chia Parfaits

These chia parfaits are so delicious! The subtle sweetness of the almond & cinnamon flavoured chia layer pairs perfectly with the mulled wine & berry jam, especially when it's topped with a refreshing layer of sour cream. Best of all, the parfaits are naturally sweet so you can avoid using any sweeteners.

Just like my Keto Strawberry Breakfast Chia Jars, these parfaits are filling and ideal for breakfast, especially if you have a sweet tooth. And they're perfect for any occasion, not just the festive time of the year.

Ingredients (makes 4 parfaits)

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml/ 8 fl oz)
• ½ cup coconut milk such as Aroy-D (120 ml/ 4 fl oz)
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 heaped tbsp almond butter, preferably roasted (32 g/ 1.1 oz)
• 4 tbsp chia seeds (32 g/ 1.1 oz)
• 1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche (230 g/ 8.1 oz) - see note for dairy-free alternatives
• 1 cup + ¼ cups Mulled Wine Berry Jam, divided (300 g/ 10.6 oz)

Note: Sweetener can be added to the chia layer and used to taste. Here's a list of suitable low-carb sweeteners. Sour cream can be substituted with dairy-free coconut milk yogurt or creamed coconut milk.

Instructions

1. To make the chia layer, pour the almond milk and coconut milk in a blender. Add cinnamon and almond butter. Optionally, you can add low-carb sweetener to taste.
2. Blend until smooth and frothy. Pour into a bowl and add chia seeds. Mix well and let it sit for 20-30 minutes to let the chia seeds soak in the liquids.
3. Divide the chia-almond mixture between 4 jars (about ½ cup per parfait).
4. Add the chia jam (¼ cup per parfait).
5. Top with sour cream (¼ cup per parfait).
6. Finally, top with the remaining ¼ cup of chia berry jam (a tablespoon per parfait).
7. Serve immediately, or cover with a cling film and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
