It’s been awhile since I’ve created a dessert for you guys! Mostly because life’s been super crazy with our move and all these life changes (more about that in the Healthy Sriracha Shredded Chicken Tacos post). Today, I’m getting back in the game with a good-for-you-but-still-EPIC Dulce De Leche Chia Seed Parfait dessert!
Something I need to be very clear about: This is NOT just a boring chia seed pudding. I mean, yes, ok, it’s chia seeds and almond milk. So technically I guess it can be defined that way.
But this Dulce De Leche Chia Seed Parfait is 100% from its core a decadent, creamy dessert that screams everything good thing in life ever!
Think more of a mousse texture with a creamy, sweet dulce de leche that’s legitimately out-of-this-world! I’m talking melt-in-your-mouth status, y’all. This stuff is SO GOOD.
If you’ve never had Dulce De Leche, it’s one of my absolute favorite flavors. I basically grew up putting this stuff in everything! In this case, I used ready-to-go La Lechera Dulce De Leche. This creamy and sweet flavor takes this Chia Seed Parfait dessert to ANOTHER LEVEL, y’all. No joke! Head over to the La Lechera Facebook Page to get ideas on other ways to use it! Be sure to submit your own ideas on how to use La Lechera Dulce De Leche, too!
BY THE WAY….did you know that Oct. 11th is World Dulce De Leche day??? And everyone rejoiced. I mean, only the best day ever, y’all. I want to see your fave recipes! Share your #DulceDeLecheDay recipes over on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook!
