DIRECTIONS
For the chocolate sauce, place coconut oil, cacao, maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until ingredients are melted. Be careful not to burn. Then add the vanilla and salt and mix well. Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature. Pour 1-2 tablespoons on the bottom of your parfait jars.
For the chocolate chia pudding, add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour on top of chocolate sauce, about 1/2 of the way.
For the coconut cream, in a large bowl, hand beaters or a stand mixer. Chill bowl and beaters in freezer for 15 minutes. Turn can upside down and open the bottom end. Pour out liquid and save for another recipe. Scoop out the solidified coconut and place in chilled bowl. Whip the coconut cream for 3 to 5 minutes, until it's fluffy and light. Mix in sweetener, salt and vanilla, whip for another minute. Place on top of chocolate pudding, about 3/4 of the way.
For the strawberry chia pudding, Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour on top of coconut whip. Place parfait in the fridge for 1 hour or more. Enjoy!
