Coconut & Raspberry Chia Pots

Pretty enough for a dinner party yet simple enough for a Tuesday, these little pots layer creamy coconut chia with a sharp raspberry ripple. The tartness of the fruit against the rich coconut means they need barely any sweetening. Make them ahead and they set in the fridge while you get on with the main course.

Method
Serves 4 · about 10 minutes from start to finish.
Whisk the coconut cream with the plant milk and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in the chia seeds and half the desiccated coconut, whisking again after a few minutes to keep them from clumping.
Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick.
Mash the raspberries with a fork into a rough, rippable puree.
Layer the coconut chia and raspberry puree in glasses or jars.
Finish with the remaining desiccated coconut and a few whole raspberries.

Cook's tip
The raspberries provide all the sweetness needed, keeping these low in sugar and blood-sugar-friendly. Frozen raspberries work brilliantly and mash into an even smoother ripple.
