Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed tropical fruits (mango, pineapple, kiwi, papaya)
  • 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 tbsp coconut cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup of tropical fruits, coconut yogurt, and agave nectar. Blend until smooth. Pour the fruit mixture into two serving glasses, filling halfway. In another blender, mix passion fruit pulp, almond milk, coconut cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently layer this mixture over the fruit layer in each glass. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the layers set. For the Caribbean Sunrise Mimosa, mix equal parts orange juice and champagne or sparkling wine in a flute glass. Garnish with a mint leaf. Serve the parfaits with the mimosa alongside, garnished with a mint leaf.
