Tropical Fruit Parfait With Honey Ginger Drizzle And Gingersnap Granola Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put half of the broken banana chips in a food processor. Process until finely ground to the consistency of breadcrumbs. Alternatively, crush the chips in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin. Set aside.
• Combine the remaining broken banana chips with the oats, dried pineapple and mango, macadamia nuts, coconut chips and sesame seeds in a large heatproof bowl. Set aside.
• Stir to combine the coconut oil with the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until just warm, about 2 minutes. Pour into the large bowl and stir to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Sprinkle with the ground banana chips and stir again to evenly coat the granola.
• Spread the granola on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake until evenly golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring 3 times (about every 10 minutes), to ensure it toasts evenly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before storing.
• Enjoy the granola as is, in milk or as a topping for yogurt, parfaits, smoothie bowls, ice cream or fruit salad.

Steps:

• Layer pink cubes, green cubes and whipped cream creatively in tall skinny parfait glasses.
• Get the kids involved in measuring the liquids, squeezing the citrus, cutting the finished gel into cubes, whipping the cream, and layering the parfaits. The combination of pomegranate, lime and cream is delicious!

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together yogurt, lime juice, and cayenne pepper; set aside.
• Spoon 1/4 of drained fruit into the bottom of 2 wine or parfait glasses. Add 1/4 of the banana. Spoon 1/4 cup yogurt mixture over fruit and top with 1/4 cup of granola. Repeat layers.
• Serve immediately garnished with a sprig of fresh mint.

Steps:

• Mix together granola, cherries, and candied ginger. Place yogurt in a large resealable bag, and snip off end. Pipe a 1-inch-thick layer of yogurt into the bottom of a 4-quart trifle dish (7 1/2 inches in diameter, 5 inches deep). Scatter 1 1/2 cups raspberries over yogurt, and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with 3 cups granola mixture. Repeat layering once, and top with a layer of yogurt. Mound 1 cup raspberries in center. Garnish with thinly sliced candied ginger (optional), and drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.
