Paleo Chocolate Strawberry parfait is grain-free, keto, low carb and has dairy-free options.
Paleo Chocolate Strawberry Parfaits are paleo, gluten-free, and have low carb, keto, and dairy-free options.
First of all, I can’t say the word parfait without quoting “Donkey from Shrek”. “Everyone loves parfaits, parfaits are delicious!”
Okay, sorry, I had to get that out. But I do love parfaits and their layers of deliciousness.
This recipe has thick and creamy chocolate pudding, coconut cream, or whipped heavy cream and sliced strawberries.
I really enjoyed this recipe, making it, photographing it, and devouring it. It brings me right back to the ’70s, with all its many puddings and Jello parfait recipes.
You can use any type of pudding container for these, but you could also use these fancy parfait cups: Parfait Cups.
If you don't have ripe strawberries available, you can use raspberries instead. You can also not add any berries, and just serve the chocolate pudding and whipped cream or coconut cream as is and have a chocolate parfait.
