Chocolate Coconut Banana Cream Parfait

July 20, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Woohoo!  It’s finally Friday!!!  Tonight for dinner I made a simple dish of Pork Tenderloin that I was going to share with you, but I thought nah, why not have dessert.  I figured that my Hubby deserved it for cleaning the house while I was gone.

This is one of those wing it desserts, make as you go.  I had a can of full fat coconut milk in the fridge and I originally thought of making a banana cream parfait, since when I was in Germany they served a cream based dessert at every meal.  It was so good, I don’t even want to know the calories of there cream desserts.  When I mixed the banana with the fat of the coconut, I knew it wouldn’t be enough and I needed more!!  In case you’re wondering, if you take a full fat can of coconut milk, place in a the fridge for a couple of days, the fat rises to the top of the can and it makes a wonderful cream.  I used the top of the cream and discarded the rest.


After running short on cream I decided to make a pudding base and then add the coconut on top.  When I made the instant pudding I still ran short, so I pulled out a tub of defrosted fat free Cool Whip that I had and mixed it in the pudding.   It was the perfect amount to fill my glass cups.

This isn’t the healthiest dessert in the world, but it tastes so good and creamy!  This is a treat that I never get to eat!  I am going to enjoy savor every bite!  Besides I saved some calories for the day to have this dessert.  It comes in at just over 200 calories, which I don’t think is too bad.  My Husband loved the dessert!  He said it was sweet chocolaty, with a hint of coconut and banana.  He went in for seconds!

I am totally loving the coconut topping and will most definitely make other goodies using it! To make the dessert pretty, I decided to toast a little bit of reduced fat coconut and add milk chocolate curls.  To make the curls I used a vegetable peeler on a bar of chocolate.  I think it added just the right touch.  I didn’t include them in the calorie calculation since I didn’t measure it out.

I am really glad the weekend is here.  I have so many recipes that I want to make and making them through the week is hard.  I try to make recipes in advance so I can share them with you throughout the week, but being away last week, set me back about a week on my recipes.

I hope you have a wonderful and fun weekend!  It’s suppose to be near 100 degrees, Eck!!  So look for no bake and BBQ meals next week.

See you tomorrow!

Toodles,

Jen

    This looks pornographic, sorry, I might need you to put a censor on this one…. it looks too good! I buzzed it actually and you read my mind with this one – I ‘ve been meaning to make a banana cream pie parfait. And I still will, well mine (in my head) is actually a lot differnet but still, the fact that we thought of the same thing, as in banana cream, is awesome 🙂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
