In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. This makes a coconut sauce to be drizzled later.
Prepare the vegan jelly as per package instructions. Once set, cut it into small, bite-sized cubes.
In a large serving bowl or individual glasses, divide the crushed ice equally.
Layer each serving with a portion of red bean paste, sweetened jackfruit, shredded coconut, coconut jelly, and diced vegan jelly over the ice.
Add the sliced bananas and mango on top of the layered mix.
Pour 2 tablespoons of the coconut syrup and 2 tablespoons of vegan condensed milk over each serving.
Add a dollop of purple yam spread on top for a colorful and rich flavor.
Finish by sprinkling toasted rice flakes on top for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately with long parfait spoons, allowing each individual to mix the ingredients together before enjoying.
