Ingredients

For the custard

2 tablespoons custard powder
4 tablespoons Natvia Synbiotic Sweetener (UK) / Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener (AU)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
400ml milk of choice
200g natural / coconut yogurt

For the berry chia jam

120g frozen berries
2 tablespoons Natvia Synbiotic sweetener
2 tablespoons chia seeds

Additional bits

Freeze-dried fruits
Flaked almonds

Recipe Method

First, make the custard: Mix the custard powder, Natvia, vanilla, and just enough milk to form a paste, then whisk well. Add the remaining milk and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Heat the custard mixture in a pan, whisk it, and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until it has thickened and become smooth. Set aside to cool.
Add the yogurt to a blender and blend until thick and smooth. Set aside/chill until ready to layer up.
Meanwhile, heat the berries in a pan with a dash of water and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the Natvia and chia seeds, then stir well. Set aside to cool.
Layer up: Spoon some cooled custard into the base of 2 x glass sundae dishes. Next, add chia berry jam, then a generous layer of granola. Repeat again, then scatter a little extra freeze-dried fruit and almonds over the top. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour - then enjoy!
