Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 150 g Natural Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • 1 scoop (approx. 30g) Protein powder (vanilla or coconut flavor)
  • 60 ml Coconut milk (light)
  • 1 tablespoon (to taste) Honey or maple syrup
  • 1 unidade média Ripe mango

Instructions

Instructions

1

Em uma tigela pequena, combine o coco ralado seco, as raspas de limão siciliano e o cardamomo em pó (se usar). Leve a mistura a uma frigideira seca em fogo médio-baixo, mexendo constantemente por 3-5 minutos, até que o coco esteja levemente dourado e aromático. Retire do fogo e reserve para esfriar completamente. Este é o seu crunch cítrico.

2

Peel the mango and cut it into small cubes. If you are using passion fruit, cut it in half and scrape the pulp into a bowl. Mix the mango with the passion fruit pulp. The short answer is: the freshness of the fruit is crucial for the balance of flavors.

3

In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, coconut milk, and honey or maple syrup. Vigorously mix with a whisk or fork until you get a completely smooth and silky cream, without lumps from the protein. The professional technique is to use a whisk to incorporate air and ensure an impeccable texture.

Para montar, pegue dois copos ou taças transparentes. Comece com uma camada do creme de iogurte e proteína no fundo de cada copo. Em seguida, adicione uma camada generosa da mistura de manga e maracujá sobre o creme. Repita as camadas, terminando com o creme no topo.

5

Finish each parfait with a good portion of the citrusy coconut crunch that was prepared initially. Decorate with a few fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and aroma. Take to the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to accentuate the flavors and set the layers. Enjoy this nutritious delight!

Chef Tips

- Toast the shredded coconut with the lime zest over low heat, stirring continuously so as not to burn the edges. - Mix the protein powder into the yogurt with a wire whisk until all lumps of vegetable or dairy powder dissipate. - Assemble in transparent glass cups to enhance the overlapping of vibrant colors of the fruits and cream.

Variations

- Replace the mango cubes with fresh chopped strawberries and blueberries for a red fruit parfait. - Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds hydrated in coconut milk between the creamy layers. - Incorporate toasted sliced almonds along with the shredded coconut to expand the crunchy profile of the topping.

Substitutions

- O iogurte grego tradicional pode ser substituído por iogurte de coco vegetal para uma opção sem lactose. - A proteína em pó com sabor de baunilha pode ser trocada por proteína sabor coco ou versão sem sabor. - O mel pode ser substituído por xarope de bordo puro ou algumas gotas de estévia líquida a gosto.

How to Store

Store the assembled glasses in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, keeping the toasted coconut topping in a separate dry container to sprinkle only at the instant of consuming so it does not wilt.

Can You Freeze It?

Não é recomendado congelar o parfait montado. O iogurte grego perde sua emulsão cremosa no congelamento, cristalizando a água livre e alterando a textura suave da manga fresca.

What to Serve With

Perfect for isolated consumption as a hearty breakfast, mid-workout snack, or chilled protein dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to prevent the yogurt and protein powder cream from becoming dry or pasty?

Add the light coconut milk gradually while mixing with the whisk. The liquid hydrates the protein and gives the perfect velvety density, similar to a light spoon mousse.

What is the best variety of mango to cut into firm cubes for the parfait?

Ripe and firm Palmer or Tommy Atkins varieties are ideal, as they have a lower content of apparent fibers (strings) and hold the cubic geometric shape without releasing excess watery broth.

Is passion fruit mandatory in this sweet assembly?

Passion fruit is optional, but its pointed acidity breaks the density of the Greek yogurt and enhances the sweetness of the mango. If you prefer to skip it, add a few extra drops of fresh lemon juice.

Can I prepare the crispy coconut farofa in a larger quantity?

Yes. Toast the coconut with the lemon zest, wait for it to cool completely, and store in an airtight container protected from light for up to 7 days, using daily portions over desserts and fruits.
