Ella Livingston’s Chocolate & Fruit Parfait

“As a busy wife, mom, and entrepreneur, I love this recipe because it feels elevated and beautiful, but it’s still easy to put together.

It satisfies my sweet tooth, gives me antioxidants from the dark chocolate and cocoa nibs, and since I’m sensitive to dairy, I can enjoy it fully knowing it’s completely dairy-free.”
