Blackberry Pie Parfait

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy fresh, vibrant berries. Blackberries reach their peak sweetness during the warm months, making them an ideal choice for a refreshing snack or dessert. This Blackberry Pie Parfait delivers all the comforting flavors of homemade pie in a nutrient-dense, gut-friendly version. It is free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, so it supports your health goals without sacrificing flavor.

Many parfait recipes rely on sugary granola and dairy-based yogurt. This version swaps those common culprits for gut-nourishing ingredients that align with the AIP diet. Each spoonful layers antioxidant-rich blackberry compote, creamy coconut yogurt infused with a boost of Liquid Vitamin D3 with K2, and a homemade tigernut granola that provides a satisfying crunch and fiber-rich foundation.

A Delicious Gluten-Free Alternative: Tigernut Granola

The foundation of this parfait is a hearty tigernut granola. Tigernuts are not actually nuts! They are tiny tubers packed with prebiotic fiber that fuels beneficial gut bacteria. They contain resistant starch, which helps balance blood sugar and promotes digestive wellness. When combined with coconut flakes, fresh ginger, and a touch of citrus zest, the result is a naturally sweet granola that delivers texture and flavor without gluten or grains.

Blackberry Compote: Sweet, Tangy, and Gut-Friendly

Blackberries are one of nature’s most powerful berries. They offer a rich source of antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. This simple compote uses fresh blackberries, coconut sugar for a touch of sweetness, and a bright burst of lemon juice and zest. Tapioca flour thickens the compote naturally, keeping it compliant if you are following The Myers Way® or AIP diet. As the blackberries break down, they create a luscious sauce that mimics the filling of a classic pie.

Vitamin D3 with K2 Coconut Yogurt: A Creamy Immune Boost

Coconut yogurt makes a creamy, dairy-free alternative to Greek yogurt. Adding AMMD™’s Liquid Vitamin D3 with K2 provides an extra layer of functional nutrition. Many people struggle to get enough vitamin D through sun exposure alone, even during the summer. Vitamin D3 supports strong bones, balances the immune system, and boosts mood. K2 helps guide calcium to the bones and away from soft tissues. This combination is vital for optimal bone and cardiovascular health. Mixing it into coconut yogurt transforms this parfait into a supportive treat that helps maintain your wellness goals all year long.

How to Make Blackberry Pie Parfait

Begin preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine tigernut flour, large coconut flakes, unsweetened shredded coconut, freshly grated ginger, orange zest, sea salt, and coconut sugar. Pour in the melted coconut oil and vanilla. Stir until every crumb is coated and fragrant.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Once golden brown and aromatic, set it aside to cool completely.

Next, create the blackberry compote. In a medium saucepan, add fresh blackberries, coconut sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the berries soften and the sugar dissolves. Combine tapioca flour with a splash of water to form a smooth slurry. Stir the slurry into the berries and continue to simmer until the compote thickens to a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.

While the compote cools, prepare the yogurt. Add two doses of Liquid Vitamin D3 with K2 to one cup of coconut yogurt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of this powerhouse nutrient.

Now assemble your parfaits. Gather your favorite clear glasses or jars for a beautiful presentation. Begin by spooning a generous layer of blackberry compote at the bottom. Add a few fresh blackberries for extra texture and flavor. Follow with a creamy layer of Vitamin D3 with K2 coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of crunchy tigernut granola. Continue layering until the glass is full, finishing with granola and whole fresh blackberries on top. For an elegant touch, garnish with a sprig of mint.

Enjoy your Blackberry Pie Parfait immediately. Each bite combines the tangy sweetness of fresh berries, the satisfying crunch of grain-free granola, and the silky smoothness of coconut yogurt enriched with vital nutrients. This parfait is proof that nourishing your body can be a delicious, seasonal delight that supports your gut, immune system, and overall vitality.
