🍌 Caramelized Banana Butterscotch Parfait 🍮
This indulgent parfait combines rich butterscotch pastry cream, caramelized bananas, and crunchy granola for a perfect balance of textures and flavors!
Ingredients:
Butterscotch Pastry Cream:
2 cups milk 🥛
3 egg yolks 🥚
1 whole egg 🥚
1 cup brown sugar 🍬
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or 2 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
Pinch of salt 🧂
4 tbsp cornstarch 🌽
Caramelized Banana Topping:
3 bananas, sliced 🍌
4 tbsp butter 🧈
1/8 cup water 💧
1/2 cup brown sugar 🍬
Parfait Assembly:
2 cups granola of your choice 🍯
Instructions:
1️⃣ Make the Butterscotch Pastry Cream:
In a saucepan, bring the milk and vanilla to a boil over medium heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole egg, brown sugar, salt, and cornstarch.
Once the milk is boiling, reduce the heat to low. Gradually whisk a spoonful of hot milk into the egg mixture to temper it, then slowly add the tempered egg mixture back to the saucepan with the milk, whisking constantly.
Continue whisking until the mixture thickens to a pastry cream consistency.
Pour the pastry cream into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge.
2️⃣ Caramelize the Bananas:
In a sauté pan over medium-low heat, combine butter, water, and brown sugar. Cook until the mixture becomes bubbly and starts to thicken.
Add the banana slices and gently toss them in the caramel until golden brown. Set aside.
3️⃣ Assemble the Parfait:
In individual serving glasses, start with a layer of granola, followed by a generous layer of butterscotch pastry cream, and then caramelized bananas.
Repeat the layering process, ending with the bananas on top.
Serve chilled and enjoy this decadent treat!
