Banana Split Parfait (Low Sugar) Recipe
by Season with Spice
Makes 3 servings
Ingredients
Whipped Cream:
- One cup heavy whipping cream (36%-40% milk fat content)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or 1 tsp of vanilla extract)
- 1/2 tsp corn flour
Chocolate Sauce:
- 3 tsp cocoa powder
- 4 tsp milk
- 2 tsp powdered sugar
- Just a little bit of vanilla paste or vanilla extract
Layers:
- One cup of sliced strawberries
- One cup of sliced bananas
- 1/2 cup of crushed walnuts
Process
- Whip up sugarless vanilla cream and refrigerate until using (click here for instructions)
- In a small bowl, add cocoa powder and milk. Mix well with a spoon, until smooth. Add in vanilla paste and powdered sugar, and mix again until smooth.
- Layer jar with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, walnuts, strawberries, bananas, and whatever other ingredients you would like to add. To re-create the Dairy Queen banana split, add pineapple too.
Notes
- Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce – aka Hershey’s Corn Syrup Sauce – is more sugar than chocolate, so I highly recommend making a healthier, homemade version.
- This parfait would be delicious with vanilla ice cream too, but I chose whipped cream in order to cut the unnecessary sugar out. And since whipped cream has a lot more air whipped into it than ice cream, you will naturally eat more fruit and nuts than the fatty cream.
On a personal note, I would replace the whipped cream all together with Chobani 0% Greek Yogurt. It’s delicious!
