Are you in the mood for an easy, no-bake dessert? Try these Butterscotch Banana Parfaits!
Hello there, friends. You may know that I usually write about easy dinner recipes, but once a week I share what I call a “bonus recipe,” typically a dessert or appetizer. Folks, my blog is called The Weary Chef, with the emphasis on the word weary. I usually have too many lunches to make, clothes to fold, arguments to break up, and random PTA jobs to do to bake a gorgeous, elaborate dessert. Thankfully these butterscotch parfaits only take a few minutes to make and require absolutely no cooking. You can’t beat an easy, no-bake dessert when you are low on time but are craving something sweet!
These would be perfect to make with your kids, or older kids could make them all by themselves. Serve them up for a special after-school snack, or triple the recipe and fill clear, disposable cups for party parfaits!
