    Vegan & Gluten-Free Coconut Mango Parfait

    My life totally changed when I discovered how amazingly coconut cream and fresh mango paired. I crave this combination all the time!

    I wasn't quite sure what to call this layered whipped coconut cream and mango recipe - my initial thought was to call it a trifle but that didn't feel right since there is no sponge cake/or a sponge cake alternative in it. I decided on coconut mango parfait.

    It's simply just coconut cream, sweetened with a little maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract, and mango layered together in a mason jar and topped with toasted coconut flakes.

    You can eat this coconut mango parfait for breakfast or dessert. (Which seems to be a theme with my recipes lately - enter the berry vegan cheesecake I ate for breakfast, ha.)

    To whip the coconut cream, I recommend refrigerating a can of coconut milk or coconut cream overnight. Remove the coconut cream from the can, leaving the liquid behind. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until it forms stiff peaks. This typically only takes a couple of minutes.

    How to Not Cut Mangoes 😉

    I'd love to tell you I have some secret trick to cutting up mangoes. I've watched tutorials on how to "do it the right way" and guys - mango cutting is just NOT for me. Maybe my knife isn't sharp enough. But it's way too much work for me when I just want to eat-all-the-mangoes.

    If you're skilled at cutting up mangos, go for it. Otherwise, they totally sell mangos that are pre-sliced in containers in the produce section. Which might hurt my eco-friendly rating if we are keeping track. -Hangs head in shame- But sometimes, you've gotta make exceptions in the name of coconut mango parfaits, amiright?

    Someday I'll master mango cutting. SOMEDAY.
