ingredients
For the pudding:

- 2 cups milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for gluten-free)

- ½ cup sliced strawberries or bananas

directions
-
Make the pudding.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, cornstarch, collagen creamer, and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens — about 5–7 minutes. -
Add vanilla + cool.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let the pudding cool for 10 minutes. -
Chill.
Pour pudding into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (touching the surface to prevent a skin), and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. -
Assemble the parfait.
Layer pudding, granola, and fruit in a glass or jar. Alternate until filled, finishing with pudding on top. -
Serve + enjoy.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream or extra fruit and enjoy a creamy, collagen-boosted dessert that’s as beautiful as it is nourishing.
