Recipe for Chocolate and Coconut Jam Yoghurt Pots
We love chia seeds and using this superfood as a way to make healthy sugar-free jam is just one reason
Once you’ve got your chia jam on hand, the rest is just a matter of layering and then devouring.
Ingredients:
- 1 quantity chia raspberry jam – recipe below
- 50g good quality 70% dark chocolate (or use cacao nibs), grated
- ½ cup crushed roasted hazelnuts
- ¼ cup whole oats
- 2 cups creamy Greek yoghurt
- 400g tin of coconut cream, chilled
Method:
- Combine the yoghurt and the firm coconut cream in a bowl (use the liquid coconut cream in your morning smoothie).
- Take 4 small glasses or jars and begin layering the jam, yoghurt, oats and nuts – finishing off with the chocolate.
- Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
