Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by mashing 1 cup of fresh raspberries with ½ cup of pomegranate juice and 2 tablespoons of honey in a medium bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to ensure the raspberries are well blended and slightly juicy, taking about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Once the raspberry base is ready, spoon it equally into the bottom of your serving glasses or dessert bowls, filling each glass about one-third full.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let this mixture sit for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once the chia mixture has thickened, carefully pour it over the raspberry layer in each glass, filling up to the rim.
  5. Cover your assembled desserts with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  6. Before serving, decorate each glass with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, additional fresh raspberries, and a sprig of vibrant mint leaves.
