A Fast Layered Dessert With Real Banoffee Flavor
The date caramel is the key here. Blended with coconut cream, it turns thick, smooth, and naturally rich, with a deep caramel flavor that works beautifully with fresh banana.
The crumb layer keeps these from turning soft all the way through. The graham crackers bring that classic pie-crust taste, and the pecans add a toasty, buttery edge that makes each spoonful more interesting.
Here is how it all comes together:
- Graham crackers and pecans get blended into fine crumbs.
- Melted butter gets mixed in to hold the crumb layer together.
- Dates soak in hot water until soft.
- The dates and coconut cream get blended into a smooth caramel.
- The parfaits get layered with crumbs, bananas, date caramel, and whipped cream.
These are great for small gatherings because you can build them right in individual glasses. They also look finished without needing much decorating. They are best the day you make them. The bananas stay fresher, and the crumb layer keeps more texture!
