About this recipe
Raspberry ombré chia parfait Thermomix TM7 is a stunning layered breakfast or dessert that looks far more elaborate than it is. If you have been searching for chia pudding recipes for the Thermomix or a post-natal breakfast idea, this one delivers three gradual pink layers in a single glass. Chia seeds soak in creamy coconut milk until they form a soft, spoonable gel, while the Thermomix blends banana and fresh raspberries into a vivid purée that fades naturally from deep magenta to pale rose when folded into coconut yoghurt. The built-in scale weighs the chia seeds and coconut milk straight into the mixing bowl, so ratios stay consistent and the pudding sets properly every time. Whipped with the butterfly accessory, the coconut yoghurt becomes light and mousse-like, giving the parfait its signature ombré gradient. Finished with edible flowers and a drizzle of pure maple syrup, this all-in-one kitchen machine recipe is perfect for new mothers, weekend brunches or an elegant lactose-free dessert.
Preparation tips
- Stir the chia seeds into the coconut milk thoroughly and let the mixture rest before layering, so the seeds swell evenly and no clumps form at the bottom of the glass.
- Build the ombré effect by blending part of the raspberry purée fully with the coconut yoghurt for the palest layer, keeping the deepest colour for the base of each glass.
- For a firmer parfait that holds clean layers, chill the assembled glasses for a few hours and add the edible flowers and maple syrup only just before serving.
- If fresh raspberries are out of season, frozen raspberries work beautifully once thawed; their juices deepen the pink colour and intensify the tart flavour of the parfait.
Recipe variations
- Mango sunrise variation: replace the raspberries with thawed frozen mango and a squeeze of lime, blending the fruit into a golden purée that gradients beautifully from orange to pale yellow against the coconut yoghurt.
- Chocolate raspberry variation: add a spoon of cacao powder to the chia-coconut base and layer with the raspberry purée for a decadent lactose-free dessert that still suits new mothers.
