This is a lovely indulgent breakfast made from layering coconut yogurt, cherry coulis and chocolate granola to make a Black Forest breakfast layered crunch. The mix of coconut, cherry and chocolate is a sweet treat for the taste buds and is an indulgent breakfast to be enjoyed… just remember portion size! 

It is easy to make, and you can layer up some portions in airtight containers in advance and keep in the fridge for a couple of days, so you have a breakfast option ready to go in the morning. You can also interchange the cherry coulis for other fruits and if you prefer natural yogurt for the coconut yogurt…. But I have to say I love the black forest taste of cherry and coconut.
