  • 2 tbsp40 gMaple syrupdivided
  • 1¼ tsp5 gVanilla extract
  • 3 medium360 gBananasliced into coins
  • 1¼ cups150 gRaspberries
  • ⅓ cup50 gPumpkin seeds (pepitas)store-bought toasted, roughly chopped

Steps

  1. Make the chocolate layer first: put the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and add the unsweetened cocoa powder, three-quarters of the maple syrup and the vanilla. Whip until completely smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down once.
  2. Make the seed crunch: in a small bowl, stir together the toasted pumpkin seeds, the chia seeds and the cinnamon, then toss with the remaining quarter of the maple syrup until lightly coated.
  3. Peel and slice the banana; lightly crush half of the raspberries with a fork, leaving the other half whole.
  4. Assemble 4 glasses: spoon in half of the chocolate cottage cheese (one-eighth of the total per glass), then half of the banana slices and all of the crushed raspberries.
  5. Add the remaining half of the chocolate cottage cheese, then top with the remaining half of the banana slices and the whole raspberries.
  6. Sprinkle the pumpkin seed and chia crunch over each parfait just before serving so it stays crisp.
