Banoffee Parfait
Our Banoffee Parfait has all of the same flavors of the world famous pie – in an easy-to-make parfait.
Ingredients
2 5.3-ounce boxes butter shortbread cookies (We bought Walkers Shortbread Rounds, found in our local market)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon espresso powder
4 medium bananas (ripe but firm)
1 15-ounce jar or can Dulce de Leche
Thick chocolate bar, to shave for garnish (we recommend Ghiardelli milk chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove four of the best-looking cookies from the boxes of cookies and set aside for garnish.
- Place the rest into a food processor and process to a crumb.
- Add brown sugar and melted butter and process to combine.
- Pour out onto a small parchment lined sheet tray and bake for five minutes. Toss with a fork and bake for five more. Toss again with a fork and bake for the last five minutes. Toss again and cool.
- Whip cream, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla and espresso powder to medium peaks. It should be stiff enough to pipe through a pastry bag but not too stiff.
- Scrape cream into a large pastry bag with a large star tip and set aside.
- Peel and slice the bananas into quarter inch slices.
- Microwave the jar of Dulce de Leche (without lid) in ten second bursts, stirring each time. You want to just make it a little softer to work with but not warmed. We used the defrost setting on our microwave to get it to a consistency we could spoon into the parfaits.
- To assemble, place layers of crumbs, Dulce De Leche, bananas and cream. Then top with the remaining crumbs, Dulce De Leche, bananas and cream.
- Place the chocolate bar bottom facing up and drag the blade of a knife across it to get shaves. Do this by aiming the blade away from you with the top of the knife blade on a 45-degree angle towards you. Put pressure on the blade and drag it across the bar. I make sure the bar will not slide by bracing the end closest to me with my body as I drag the blade. Never have the sharp side of the blade facing you, always away.
- Place the shaved chocolate over the top and place one cookie in the top of each and serve with long handled parfait spoons.
