Healthy Banana Split Parfaits image

The banana split's days of lounging around are over. This vertical version of the fountain classic is healthy for a reason: Gravity helps the ice cream melt into the fruit and nuts below-so you only need a small scoop per serving.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
3 medium bananas
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/4 of a small pineapple, cored and diced (about 1 cup)
Four 1/4-cup scoops strawberry ice cream
4 cherries, pitted

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each, until smooth and pourable.
  • Cut the bananas into 1/4-inch rounds and toss them with most of the walnuts in a medium bowl. (Reserve some nuts for the top.)
  • To assemble the parfaits: Divide the pineapple evenly among 4 rocks, float or parfait glasses. Next, add the coated bananas. Top each with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with the reserved walnuts and top with a cherry.
