Chunky Monkey Parfait

DESCRIPTION

Inspired by the beloved ice cream flavor, this parfait is made of layers of creamy chocolate banana pudding, crunchy roasted walnuts, plant-based yogurt and banana slices. It's also vegan, gluten- and refined-sugar-free!

INGREDIENTS

• 3 ripe bananas
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 250g coconut yogurt
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp chopped roasted walnuts

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add 2 bananas, cocoa powder, nut butter, vanilla extract and salt to a food processor. Process until combined and smooth.
2. Cut the remaining 1 banana into thin slices.
3. Transfer chocolate banana pudding to serving glasses. Then layer on top: chopped walnuts, banana slices, coconut yogurt and a light drizzle of maple syrup. Garnish with more banana slices and chopped walnuts. Enjoy!

NOTES

• If you prefer a firmer texture for the chocolate banana pudding, simply chill it in the fridge after blending, for 1 hour before assembling the parfaits.
• I used peanut butter but any nut butter will work fine for this recipe.
• Feel free to omit maple syrup or substitute with honey or a sugar-free syrup of choice.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
