Dragon Fruit Parfait
Layers of white-fleshed dragon fruit, chia pudding, and toasted coconut flakes - a parfait built for the picture as much as the bite.

Dragon fruit is mild and lightly sweet, so it needs partners with more character. Here it sits between a soft chia pudding and a crunch of toasted coconut. Ten minutes of work, but make the chia pudding ahead: it needs at least two hours to set.
Ingredients
Serves 2
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 250 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 dragon fruit, white-fleshed
- 4 tbsp thick yoghurt (optional)
- 2 tbsp coconut flakes, toasted
- A squeeze of lime (optional)
Method
- 1
Stir the chia seeds, milk and honey together in a jar. Leave for ten minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
- 2
Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, or overnight, until it is a soft spoonable pudding.
- 3
Halve the dragon fruit lengthways, scoop out the flesh with a spoon and cut it into small cubes. Chill it until you are ready to assemble.
- 4
Spoon a layer of chia pudding into two glasses, then a layer of yoghurt if using, then dragon fruit. Repeat once more.
- 5
Top with the toasted coconut and a small squeeze of lime, which lifts the mild fruit. Serve cold.
Tips for the best result
- Chia thickens as it sits. If it sets too firm, stir in a splash of milk before layering.
- Chill the dragon fruit before serving. The flavour is faint at room temperature and much better cold.
- The tiny black seeds in the flesh are edible and add a light crunch, so there is nothing to pick out.
