Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Filling and Topping
- 1 cup dulce de leche or canned caramel
- 2 large bananas, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press a few spoonfuls of this mixture firmly into the bottom of each serving glass to create a sturdy crust layer.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream together with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
- Assemble the parfait layers: Spoon a layer of dulce de leche over the crust in each glass, followed by a layer of banana slices. Next, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. If your glasses are tall, repeat these layers to fill the glass.
- Finishing touches: Top each parfait with an extra spoonful of whipped cream, drizzle with additional caramel if desired, and garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder for added flavor and presentation.
- Chill before serving: Place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator and chill them for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set nicely before serving.
Notes
- To prevent bananas from browning, toss them lightly with a little lemon juice before layering.
- You can use store-bought dulce de leche for convenience, or make your own by simmering a can of sweetened condensed milk until it thickens and caramelizes.
