Crunchy, creamy, and fruity layers come together in this quick and easy paleo dessert. Loaded with nutritious ingredients, this dessert also makes a good breakfast. For the coconut cream, skim the thick layer off the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk that has been refrigerated overnight. There may be leftover ingredients that don’t fit in the jar, which can be stored in the refrigerator and used for a parfait the next day.

Instructions

​

1. Place the almonds, pepitas, coconut flakes and sunflower seeds into a blender and pulse to break the mixture into smaller pieces. Transfer to a pan and cook on low heat, stirring in the coconut oil, honey, and salt, until the mixture is golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

​

2. Add the coconut cream and vanilla to a blender and blend to combine. Remove half of the cream and set aside. Add 1/2 cup strawberries into the blender with the remaining coconut cream and blend to form a strawberry cream layer.

​

3. To assemble place some of the nut mixture into the bottom of a jar or cup. Add a thin layer of diced fruit, followed by a layer of coconut cream. Add a thin layer of almond butter, followed by a layer of strawberry cream. Continue layering the nut mixture, diced fruit, and coconut cream mixture until the top of the dish is reached. Serve immediately.
