Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup mango, diced
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and cutting fruits. Slice bananas into thin rounds and dice the mango into small, uniform cubes.
- Select 4 clear glass parfait glasses or mason jars to showcase the beautiful layers of the dessert.
- Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns light golden brown and becomes fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Begin layering the parfaits by first adding a generous spoonful of coconut yogurt to the bottom of each glass.
- Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the yogurt, covering the entire surface evenly.
- Sprinkle a portion of the granola over the banana layer to provide a crunchy texture.
- Add a layer of diced mango pieces, distributing them evenly across the glass.
- Repeat the layering process, creating alternating layers of yogurt, fruit, and granola until the glasses are nearly full.
- Top the parfaits with the toasted shredded coconut for an extra tropical touch.
- Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing tropical dessert.
