Fruit Parfait (Strawberry Parfait & Chocolate Banana Parfait)
Description
This Fruit Parfait recipe includes fresh whipped cream prepared by beating heavy cream with sugar until medium peaks form. For the strawberry version, homemade castella cake cubes are paired with sliced strawberries, cornflakes for crunch, whipped cream, and garnished with almonds, mint, and pocky sticks. The chocolate banana parfait layers whipped cream with brownies, chocolate granola, chocolate syrup, chocolate or vanilla ice cream, sliced bananas, mint, and cigarette cookies, creating a rich dessert with varied textures.
The combination of soft cake or brownie pieces and fresh fruit with whipped cream produces a dessert that balances creamy, sweet, and fresh notes. Inclusion of crunchy elements like cornflakes or granola adds contrast, while the chocolate elements in the banana parfait deepen the flavor. Mint garnishes add a bright finish.
These parfaits are assembled in glasses with attention to presentation, such as placing fruit slices visibly around the glass. They are best prepared fresh, with whipped cream used immediately after making. This recipe provides flexibility for ingredient preferences and layering order.

To Make the Fresh Whipped Cream
- Prepare an ice bath by placing ice cubes and water in a large bowl. Place a clean and dry mixing bowl in the ice bath and add 2 cups heavy (whipping) cream and 3 Tbsp sugar to keep cool.
- Once cooled, transfer the mixing bowl to the stand mixer and whisk on high speed until medium peaks. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag. You can put the bag in a tall glass and fold the top half of the bag outward as you see in the picture below.
To Prepare the Fillings
- Cut the Homemade Castella Cake, sponge cake, and/or brownies into small cubes.
- Slice the fresh fruits of your choice like strawberries and/or banana. Leave one whole strawberry for garnish.
To Assemble the Strawberry Parfait
- Put cornflakes cereal on the bottom of the glass. Place the strawberry slices vertically around the inner glass so that we can see the strawberry from outside the glass. Fill the void with fresh whipped cream.
- Add chocolate syrup and some Castella cubes.
- Add a scoop of vanilla and/or strawberry ice cream and more strawberry halves around the glass rim. Decorate with toasted sliced almonds and more whipped cream.
- Garnish with one whole strawberry, a sprig of mint, and 2 sticks of Pocky on top.
To Assemble the Chocolate Banana Parfait
- Put chocolate granola on the bottom of the glass. Add some fresh whipped cream and brownie cubes. Squirt some chocolate syrup vertically on the inner glass so you can see chocolate marks from outside the glass.
- Add more whipped cream, granola, and sliced almonds. Add 2 scoops of chocolate or vanilla ice cream. Decorate with more whipped cream and the banana slices.
- Top off with sliced almonds, chocolate syrup, a sprig of mint, and cigarette cookies on top.
