Dessert parfaits are aesthetically appealing due to the layered presentation of different colors, tastes and textures. These Mango Cream and Granola Parfaits combine the silky smooth flavor of a tropical fruit and the crunch of granola pieces.

Ingredients:

• Mango curd: you need one batch of my Mango Curd recipe to make this dish. I also have a YouTube video to guide your through the process.
• Heavy Cream: whip the cream to medium peaks (this is the point when the whipped creams holds its shape but the tips of the peaks will droop slightly)
• Confectioners' Sugar (this is also referred to as powdered sugar): this adds a bit of sweetness to the mango cream
• Granola: store bought granola is fine or make your own!
• Fresh mango: find a juicy, ripe mango. Cut into small pieces and sprinkle over the top of the dessert.

Variations

Feel free to be creative with ingredients in your parfaits. The following are a few examples:

• Add toasted coconut to the parfait layers. Mangos and coconut are a marriage made in heaven!
• Use Biscoff or crunchy cookies in place of the granola. To do this, place cookies in a plastic bag and smash with a hammer or rolling pin. Leave some larger cookie chunks for a bit of texture.
• Add more tropical flavor by sprinkling with chopped macadamia nuts or sliced bananas.

1x2x3x

• 1 Batch Mango Curd

• 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
• 2 Cups Granola Pieces
• 1 Ripe Mango Cut into small pieces

Instructions

 

Make the Mango Cream

• Place the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Whip to medium peaks. Medium cream peaks hold their shape when the beaters are lifted, but the tips gently curl over instead of standing straight up.
  1 ½ Cups Heavy Cream, 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango curd, being careful not to overmix or the whipped cream will lose its airy texture.
  1 Batch Mango Curd

Assemble the Parfaits

• Place two tablespoons of granola in the bottom of 6 eight-ounce parfait glasses.
• Spoon or pipe the mango cream over the granola.
• Add another 3 tablespoons of granola over the mango cream. Shake the glass to distribute the granola evenly.
• Spoon or pipe an additional layer of mango cream over the granola.
• Add fresh mango chunks and granola pieces to finish the parfaits. Keep parfaits refrigerated until serving.

Notes

Note: this dessert is best served the day it is assembled.  The mango cream may be made a few days before assembling the parfaits (keep the cream refrigerated until ready to assemble)
