A chilled, layered Mango Berry Parfait combining creamy mango blend, tangy berry chia jam, crunchy nuts and seeds, and light whipped yogurt—a refreshing summer treat.
Ingredients
2 ripe sweet mangoes (Alphonso, Kesar, or Ataulfo), peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chenna (cottage cheese) or paneer
2 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
1/4 cup milk
2–3 tbsp sugar or honey (to taste)
Pinch of salt
1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, jamun)
1 tbsp chia seeds (soaked in 1/2 cup water for 30 minutes)
1–2 tbsp honey (to taste)
1 cup crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
2 tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup coarsely crushed almonds, cashews, pistachios
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
1 cup whipped Greek yogurt or thick plain yogurt
1/2 cup diced fresh mango (for garnish)
1 tsp black sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Blend mangoes, chenna, cream cheese (if using), milk, sweetener, and salt into a thick, creamy mixture. Chill until needed.
- Mash berries and jamun in a bowl. Mix in soaked chia seeds and honey. Chill for 30 minutes until jam thickens.
- Combine crushed biscuits with melted butter to form a crumbly base layer.
- In serving glasses, layer the crushed cookie mixture at the bottom.
- Add a layer of berry chia jam over the cookie layer.
- Sprinkle crushed nuts and seeds over the jam.
- Spoon in the creamy mango layer.
- Top with whipped yogurt.
- Garnish with diced mango and black sesame seeds. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use fully ripe mangoes for best flavor and sweetness.
- Frozen berries can be used; thaw before mashing.
- Soaking chia seeds before mixing is essential for thickening.
- Prepare mango and berry layers ahead of time; assemble before serving for best texture.
- Can be layered in a large trifle bowl instead of individual glasses.
