  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 8-inch springform pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chia seeds

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mixed berries
  • 2 cup granola
  • 1 cup coconut cream

  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then whisk until well mixed.
  • Let the chia mixture rest for about 10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping, and set aside.

  • Pour half of the chia pudding over the granola layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  • Add a layer of berry puree over the chia pudding.
  • Spread a layer of coconut cream over the berry puree.

  • Top with a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips and shredded coconut.

Notes

For a smoother texture, make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the mixture to avoid clumping. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can add more maple syrup to taste. This no-bake cake can be customized with various fruits or nuts to suit your preferences. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
