Directions

Carefully open the chilled can of coconut milk, scooping out the thick cream that has solidified at the top into a medium bowl. Reserve the clear liquid for another use.

Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract to the coconut cream. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes, resembling whipped cream.

In a small bowl, gently toss the diced pineapple with the lime juice.

To assemble the parfaits, layer a spoonful of granola at the bottom of each of four serving glasses or jars.

Follow with a layer of the whipped coconut cream, then a few slices of star fruit, and a spoonful of the pineapple mixture.

Repeat the layering process, ensuring each glass or jar has at least two layers of each component.

Finish with a decorative arrangement of star fruit slices and a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut on top.
