Fruit Parfait (Strawberry Parfait & Chocolate Banana Parfait)

Steps

1. Gather all the ingredients.

2. And more...

3. Prepare an ice bath by placing ice cubes and water in a large bowl. Place a clean and dry mixing bowl in the ice bath and add 2 cups heavy (whipping) cream and 3 Tbsp sugar to keep cool.

4. Once cooled, transfer the mixing bowl to the stand mixer and whisk on high speed until medium peaks. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag. You can put the bag in a tall glass and fold the top half of the bag outward as you see in the picture below.

5. Cut the Homemade Castella Cake, sponge cake, and/or brownies into small cubes.

6. Slice the fresh fruits of your choice like strawberries and/or banana. Leave one whole strawberry for garnish.

7. Put cornflakes cereal on the bottom of the glass. Place the strawberry slices vertically around the inner glass so that we can see the strawberry from outside the glass. Fill the void with fresh whipped cream.

8. Add chocolate syrup and some Castella cubes.

9. Add a scoop of vanilla and/or strawberry ice cream and more strawberry halves around the glass rim. Decorate with toasted sliced almonds and more whipped cream.

10. Garnish with one whole strawberry, a sprig of mint, and 2 sticks of Pocky on top.

11. Put chocolate granola on the bottom of the glass. Add some fresh whipped cream and brownie cubes. Squirt some chocolate syrup vertically on the inner glass so you can see chocolate marks from outside the glass.

12. Add more whipped cream, granola, and sliced almonds. Add 2 scoops of chocolate or vanilla ice cream. Decorate with more whipped cream and the banana slices.

13. Top off with sliced almonds, chocolate syrup, a sprig of mint, and cigarette cookies on top.
