Chocolate, Almond, and Banana Parfaits

Chocolate, Almond, and Banana Parfaits
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 3/4 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons amaretto
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 8 1/2-inch-thick angel food cake slices
  • 24 1/3-inch-thick diagonal banana slices (from about 3 bananas)
  • 1/3 cup (about) sliced almonds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Heat chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons cream in microwave in 1-cup glass measuring cup at 50 percent power just until chocolate is melted, about 30 to 35 seconds. Stir to blend; cool chocolate sauce to lukewarm. Whisk mascarpone, amaretto, sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons cream in medium bowl until blended and mixture just starts to thicken.
  2. Using 2 1/2-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out round from each angel food cake slice. Place 1 cake round in each of 4 wine goblets or old-fashioned glasses. Top each cake round with 3 banana slices, 1 heaping tablespoon mascarpone mixture, bittersweet chocolate sauce, and sprinkling of almonds. Repeat parfait layering 1 more time and serve.
