Preparation Steps
1
Peel the bananas and cut them into small pieces. Set aside in a bowl.
2
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and powdered sugar until you have a light and fluffy cream.
3
In a small saucepan, heat the water over medium heat. When it starts to boil, add the banana pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the fruit softens and the liquid thickens slightly.
4
Strain the cooked banana puree to remove any seeds. Then, slowly pour the thickened liquid into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking. Next, place the bowl over a double boiler and stir constantly until the mixture thickens slightly.
5
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. It's important that the cream is cold for easier whipping.
6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk-banana mixture. Using a spatula, be careful not to deflate the cream and maintain a light texture.
7
Pour the mixture into a bowl or silicone mold and place it in the freezer. Freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, but the flavors will meld together even better if you let it rest overnight.
8
5 minutes before serving, remove the parfait mold from the freezer to make it easier to slice. Use a knife dipped in warm water to easily cut through the parfait.
