Instructions

Raw Apple-Cinnamon and Chia Layer Preparation

1. Place one of the diced apples in an airtight container.
2. Process the remaining two apples in a food processor along with the dates, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pulse the mixture a few times and then process for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture resembles applesauce, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
3. Transfer the mix to the container with the diced apples and stir in the chia seeds.
4. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow chia seeds to thicken the mix.

Cinnamon Soft-Serve Preparation

1. Process the frozen bananas and cinnamon in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
2. Add a bit of plant-based milk, 1 Tbsp at a time if needed for the bananas to blend but not so much that you end up with a smoothie instead.

To Assemble

1. In 2 medium jars or glasses, layer the soft-serve and apple-cinnamon-chia mixture, one after the other, garnishing with toppings as you go.
2. Serve immediately.
