Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Chia Pudding

Start by making the chia pudding the night before or at least 4 hours prior to serving. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, plant-based milk, chia seeds, and the desired amount of syrup.

Stir well to mix all the ingredients. Once mixed, cover the bowl with a lid and place it in the refrigerator to thicken and set.

Step 2

Assemble the Trifle

After the chia pudding has set, it’s time to assemble your trifle. Start with a layer of crushed sugar-free cookies at the bottom of your serving dish. This will be the first layer of flavor and texture.

Next, add a layer of the chilled chia pudding on top of the cookies, followed by a generous layer of diced mango. Make sure to reserve some mango slices for garnishing on top.

Step 3

Garnish and Serve

For the final touch, creatively arrange the reserved mango slices to resemble flower petals on top of the trifle. This not only adds a beautiful aesthetic but enhances the vibrant flavors as well.

This delicious and healthy sugar-free trifle is perfect as a breakfast option or a delightful dessert. Enjoy your refreshing creation!
