Banana Split Parfait

Banana Split Parfait Recipe

By Peanut Palate

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

For the Vanilla Ice Cream

1 frozen banana peeled and chopped. Note that chopping the bananas smaller makes them easier to blend. You can chop them before or after you freeze them, but it's easier to chop it prior to freezing

¼ tsp vanilla extract

Splash plant based milk

sweetener, if desired

For the Chocolate Ice Cream

1 frozen banana peeled and chopped

2 tbsp cocoa powder

¼ tsp vanilla extract

Splash plant based milk

sweetener, if desired feel free to add any type of sweetener into the ice cream – the chocolate layer is a little more bitter than the others because of the cocoa powder. I prefer it that way, but not everyone does. You can use 100% pure maple syrup, soft dates, stevia, regular white sugar, coconut sugar, or anything to add sweetness

For the Strawberry Ice Cream

1 frozen banana peeled and chopped

⅓ cup frozen strawberries

¼ tsp vanilla extract

Splash plant based milk

sweetener, if desired

For the Assembly

1 ripe banana, not frozen, sliced into medium-size circles not overly ripe to the point where it has dark spots though

1-2 fresh cherries

vegan whipped cream I use Gay Lea brand of coconut whip

1 tbsp roasted peanuts

Instructions

1Blend together the ingredients for each of the ice cream layers separately – the vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.

2As you blend each layer, place it in a bowl in the freezer so it doesn't melt as you blend the next layer. You'll need to rinse out the blender cup in between flavors if you're using the same one for all of them.

3Once all the flavors are blended, layer them into a cup, alternating with slices of banana in between each layer, or you can place the bananas at the bottom and add the flavors on top.

4Top with roasted peanuts, vegan whipped cream and a cherry.

5You can also drizzle on some chocolate or caramel sauce if you'd like! I linked a recipe to a vegan caramel sauce above in the blog post, so you can check that out.

6Eat it right away before it melts.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
