Ingredients
For the 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
For the chocolate sauce:
- 3 tsp cocoa powder
- 4 tsp milk
- 2 tsp powdered sugar
- Just a little bit of vanilla paste or vanilla extract
For the layers:
- One cup of sliced strawberries
- One cup of sliced bananas
- 1/2 cup of crushed walnuts
Instructions
- 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.
