Banana Cinnamon Frozen Parfait
A sophisticated yet simple frozen dessert that brings comfort and elegance in every bite. This Frozen Banana Cinnamon Parfait is whipped to a silky smoothness, layered with warm spice and mellow banana flavour, then frozen to create a light, creamy texture. Served with a lush Apricot Rum Sauce, gently simmered with dark rum and a hint of citrus, it offers a beautifully balanced contrast — rich, fruity, and slightly boozy. Perfect for entertaining or as a refined end to a summer meal.
