Ingredients for A Tropical Fruit Parfait

  • 1 ripe banana
  • Apple Juice
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1 kiwi
  • Granola Cereal

How to Make A Tropical Fruit Parfait

  1. Peel and slice 1 ripe banana. Add to a blender with 2 tablespoons of fruit juice (orange or pineapple recommended). Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the banana puree into a bowl and set aside.
  3. Peel and chop 1 ripe mango and 1 kiwi. Add to the blender (clean if necessary). Blend until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.
  4. In a large mug or parfait glass, layer the ingredients: start with a layer of banana puree, followed by 1/4 cup granola, then a layer of the mango-kiwi puree. Repeat the layers until the mug is almost full.
  5. Top with a sprinkle of granola and a few slices of fresh mango or kiwi (optional).
  6. Enjoy your tropical escape immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
