  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted

  3. Spread the mixture evenly into a small baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, gently fold together the diced fruits, coconut whipped cream, half of the toasted shredded coconut, and half of the toasted sliced almonds.

Chef’s Insight

For optimal flavor, use fresh seasonal fruits and allow them to marinate in the coconut whipped cream for at least 30 minutes before assembling the parfait.

Notes

The parfait can be made ahead of time and chilled until ready to serve.
