Prep Time:
10 minutes, plus 2 hours soak time
Yield:
4 parfaits

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews, soaked in filtered water for 2 hours
  • 1⁄2 cup unsweetened canned coconut milk
  • 2 tsp sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, agave nectar)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups berries (raspberries, blueberries, and/or blackberries)

Equipment

  • High-speed blender or food processor
  • 4 parfait glasses

    Directions

    1. Purée soaked cashews, coconut milk, sweetener, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla extract in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.

    3. Repeat process until all coconut cream and fruit has been used and each parfait glass has four layers—two of coconut cream and two of fruit.
