Pumpkin Pie Coconut Parfait

This AIP breakfast recipe is really easy to make, can be made ahead of time, portable, and very filling. You can also customize it with a bunch of different flavors and toppings so that you don't get bored! I also give instructions on how to make this coconut-free below.

I mention in both the video and the recipe that it's up to you on how much gelatin you want to use.

If you use only a teaspoon per can of coconut milk you'll get a runnier mixture that is closer to what you expect of yogurt. However, if you use a tablespoon of gelatin you'll get a very solid mixture.

There is no “right or wrong” when it comes to which one you make – it's totally up to you.

Once you heat the mixture it's best to pour it into either a quart-sized glass Ball jar or into a medium-sized Pyrex container to set.

If you need a portable breakfast and are taking it to go, I recommend either dishing out the set mixture into half-pint sized glass Ball jars or small Pyrex containers.

You'll also want to make sure you let this sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours after heating it up to get to the right consistency.

Notes

Topping Ideas: 
In the video, I topped my parfait with sauteed diced apples, raisins, and a drizzle of honey.
I simply diced half of an apple, heated a frying pan over medium heat, added about a teaspoon of coconut oil, let it melt, and then added the apples.
Then I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt and tossed to combine. I let the mixture cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
(This topped 2 parfaits - so if you want to top 4, use the entire apple). Then I put the apples, raisins, and honey on the parfaits.
I also made a version that used diced pears, raisins, a dash of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey.For this version I did not sautee the pears - they were just diced and placed directly onto the parfait.
I recommend that if you're going to do this and serve it any time other than immediately that you toss the pears with a mixture of some lemon juice and water to prevent browning.
You could also use my "Chocolate" Tigernut AIP Granola as a delicious topping.
