Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 whole, diced Mango
• 1 whole, sliced Banana
• 0.5 cup Red bean paste

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. This makes a coconut sauce to be drizzled later.

Step 2

Prepare the vegan jelly as per package instructions. Once set, cut it into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

In a large serving bowl or individual glasses, divide the crushed ice equally.

Step 4

Layer each serving with a portion of red bean paste, sweetened jackfruit, shredded coconut, coconut jelly, and diced vegan jelly over the ice.

Step 5

Add the sliced bananas and mango on top of the layered mix.

Step 6

Pour 2 tablespoons of the coconut syrup and 2 tablespoons of vegan condensed milk over each serving.

Step 7

Add a dollop of purple yam spread on top for a colorful and rich flavor.

Step 8

Finish by sprinkling toasted rice flakes on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately with long parfait spoons, allowing each individual to mix the ingredients together before enjoying.
