- Crush graham crackers in a baggie with rolling pin until course crumbs. Set aside.
- Using a whisk, whisk cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add pudding mix, milk and vanilla; whisking until smooth.
- Fold in 2 ounces of whipped topping. Reserve 2 ounces cool whip to top parfaits.
- To make two parfaits. The layering really doesn't matter - do whatever you think looks the best! Here's how I do the layers for my DH and I: layer each parfait with graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 banana, 1/4 pudding mixture, 1/2 ounce whipped topping, 1/4 banana, 1/4 pudding mixture, 1/2 ounce whipped topping and lastly remaining graham cracker crumbs.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Can be eaten immediately or set in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow crumbs to soften (not too long or they'll turn to mush). Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure your bananas are ripe but not overripe. Overripe bananas will make your parfait too mushy.
- If you don't have any vanilla wafers, you can use graham crackers or ladyfingers instead.
- For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of rum or bourbon to the banana mixture.
- To make your parfait more colorful, add some fresh berries or chopped nuts.
- For a special occasion, serve your parfait in a martini glass or coupe glass.
Conclusion:
Banana cream pie parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up ripe bananas. So next time you have a few ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
