Banana Parfait
This Banana Parfait layers creamy banana tofu pudding with crumbled cookies and fresh banana slices. The pudding is made by blending firm silken tofu and ripe bananas with starch, lemon, vanilla, and sugar for a smooth texture. It is assembled in jars or glasses alternating pudding, cookie crumbs, and banana slices, optionally topped with vegan whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 1 carton tofu ~16-ounce, firm silken
- 2 ½ pieces banana divided, ripe, peeled
- 1 tablespoon potato starch
- 2 tablespoon lemon extract or juice of 1 small lemon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 to 5 pieces Fat Badger Cookies your choice on flavor, crushed
- vegan whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add the tofu and 2 bananas to the bowl of a food processor or high-powered blender, and process until creamy.
- Add the potato starch, lemon, vanilla, and sugar, and process for another minute.
- In each of the jars, pack a layer of crumbled Fat Badger cookies about ½-inch thick, topped with 1-inch of banana pudding, followed by a thin layer of banana slices and ½-inch of crumbled cookies, topped with another layer of banana pudding, and garnished with extra banana slices and vegan whipped cream, if using.
Notes
- Add banana or potato starch to adjust pudding thickness as needed.
- Slice bananas just before assembling to prevent browning; frozen banana slices can also be used.
- Parfaits can be served in regular glasses if mason jars are not available.
- Leftover pudding works well over oats or frozen into a vegan pie crust for another dessert.
- For a breakfast parfait, consider combining fresh berries, granola, and plant-based yogurt.
