Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Carmelita Bar Mix™
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 cups heavy cream, divided
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 4 just ripe bananas, sliced
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Grated dark chocolate bar or 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Crumbles: In a large bowl, combine Carmelita Bar Mix packet 1 and melted butter. Mix until small crumbles form. Spread the crumbles on the parchment-lined baking sheet and use your hands to form some larger pieces. Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully stir to avoid breaking the crumbles. Continue baking for another 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Make Caramel Sauce: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine Carmelita Bar Mix packet 2, ½ cup heavy cream, and sea salt. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute. Let it cool.
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a separate large bowl, combine the remaining 1½ cups heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble Parfaits: In parfait glasses, divide half of the cooled crumble mixture among them. Top with caramel sauce, banana slices, and the remaining crumble mixture. Cover each parfait with the whipped topping.
- Chill: Refrigerate the parfaits for 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle each parfait with grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade caramel sauce instead of the Carmelita mix.
