Ingredients
  

For the Caramelized Bananas
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas, sliced Choose ripe but firm bananas for the best texture.
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the Pudding Layers
  • 2 cups vanilla pudding, pre-made or homemade Store-bought is an option for convenience.
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Non-dairy alternatives can be used.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Assembly
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Optional: cinnamon or chocolate syrup for drizzling Add for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar until the mixture is bubbly and smooth.
  2. Add the sliced bananas and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until coated in caramel sauce and slightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Whipped Cream Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  2. Gently fold in half of the cooled banana mixture into the whipped cream to create a fluffy layer.
Assembly
  1. In clear dessert cups or glasses, layer a spoonful of graham cracker crumbs at the bottom.
  2. Add a layer of vanilla pudding, followed by a layer of the banana-whipped cream mixture. Repeat the layers until cups are filled, ending with a dollop of whipped cream.
  3. Garnish with remaining graham cracker crumbs and drizzle with cinnamon or chocolate syrup if desired.

Notes

If there are leftovers, store parfaits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. The graham cracker crumbs may soften over time.
