About This Class

This parfait is a take on everyone’s favorite banana pudding.  We have added a twist of making banana flavored pudding instead of vanilla pudding.  These parfaits are assembled in individual serving glasses and can be stored for a later serving.   In this class I will teach you how to infuse milk to give it that banana flavor.  Then I will show you how to make banana flavored pudding.  Next we will make homemade whipped topping.  We will then prepare the vanilla wafers and gather all our ingredients. We will finish up by putting all our ingredients together to make our parfaits.

1. 01 Introduction: Thank you for taking this class. In this class, I will teach you how to make this delicious banana. Pretty horrific. First I will teach you how to infuse the milk with bananas, to give it a banana flavor. Next, I will teach you how to make the banana pudding. Then I will teach you how to make the topic. I will show you how to prepare all the ingredients for the parfait. Finally, I will teach you how to assemble the parfait. I am a self-taught Baker and cake decorator. Many years ago, I decided I wanted to open up my own home bakery so that I could make cakes and other deserts for other people, for special occasions. So I took some classes, read some books, watched a lot of videos, and of course did a lot of practice. Until I felt like my skills with the level that I can open up my own. I then open up my own homepage. And I had this bakery for several years and tell my husband got a job offer in New York City. We decided this was a good move for us, and so we close down our bakery. We moved across the country to New York City. Now here in New York City, I do not want to go through the steps to open up another home bakery. But I still love baking. And as a retired teacher, I love teaching. So I have decided to share my skills with you on Skillshare. This class is aimed at the baker. They would like to learn how to make this delicious parfait using homemade stabilized whip cream and homemade banana pudding. I am excited to teach you the skills in this class. Let's move on to lesson number one. In fusing the meal. 2. 02 Infusing The Milk: We're ready to make the infused milk because we want it to have that banana flavor. Let me show you how we do this. I'm just going to take some bananas, three of them. And I'm going to slice them. And then after I get them slice, I'm going to put them in my Pam. I want to do that to all three banana. If you've got a bad part like that, just cut it out. That'll be fine. And we could bananas, okay, and in our case, we're going to add four-and-a-half cups of milk. For one-half. We're now going to take this over to the stove and bring it to a simmer. We've turned the heat on and we have it at a medium temperature. And we just wanted to bring this to a simmer. And we don't need to start all the time, but we do need to start occasionally so that the milk doesn't scrawled on the bottom, as I said, could just stir occasionally, scraping on the bottom to make sure that we don't have it sculpting on the bottom. We want to bring this to a simmer. This has been going for about 5 min. And you can see this little bubbles just kind of sitting there. It's not really boiling. But we're starting to get some heat coming from it. We want it to actually be submarines. So we want to see some lot more of the bubbling so that we know it's hot enough to get that infused flavor in the milk. We're starting to get that'll occasional bubble. If you look closely, you'll see that occasional pop of a bump bubble. That means it's getting really close. It's not quite there yet. I do want to stir it so it doesn't sculpt and stick on the bottom. The sauce will slow the simmering down because it'll even the heat. So the, all of the milk has the same temperature. I'm listening and I'm hearing a little bit about sound that you hear when it's getting ready to bubble. A lot of stirred. Want to make sure it's not sticking to the bottom. I think we're almost there to simmer. You can see there's a lot more bubbles on top now that it's almost there, we want those bubbles to start popping and that tells us that it's simmering and it's getting there. As you look at it, you can start to see a lot of little bubbles starting to pop. It's basically there. I want to get a few more popping. And then we're going to turn the heat off and cover it. We're going to let it completely cool to room temperature for about 4 h. So that submarine going to turn the heat off. And I'm going to cover it to keep the heat in there so that it slows down very slowly. We'll be back in about 4 h when this has cooled down. This is now sat for a few hours. I'm just going to stir it one more time. And then so that I can really get that strong banana flavor in my milk. I'm going to dump this milk and bananas going to cover it. And now I'm going to let this sit in the fridge overnight. That'll really help infuse that banana flavor into the milk. 3. 03 Making The Pudding: We're ready to start making the banana pudding. To begin with, we want to get our infused milk already by taking, dumping the milk to get the bananas. Now, we want to take a half a cup of this that we're going to use later. And we're now ready to put this on the stove. Before we heat the milk cup though, we want to get the rest of the ingredients ready, that we can just dump them and use them when we're reading. First, I need to separate five white. Then dump the AQL can there. And I want to get all five separated. With the separated, I now want to whisk up my egg yolks in this large bowl that we had stored the infused milk. I want to add the sugar, the cornstarch, the half a teaspoon of salt. And I want to whisk them together. Now because there was a little bit of milk in the bottom, I am getting some chunks, but that's okay. Then I'm going to add half a cup of milk and my egg yolks and whisk this together. We're now ready to start cooking our pudding. We've turned the heat on to the mill, and we're just going to let it heat up until we start seeing steam coming out. The heat is a medium heat. When we see steam coming out of this, we're going to do what we call temperature of the egg. That means we're going to down half of this milk into that egg mixture that we mixed up and stirred in, and then dump it back into the hot milk that's heating up to cook it all the way. That way we get it to not have scrambled eggs. If you look really closely and I don't know if you can tell through the camera, there is steam starting to rise up from the milk. So we're going to whisk this. And while we're risking this, we're going to pour milk. Now you can really see that steam coming up. We want to risk this until it's smooth. And then we're gonna dump this slowly back into our Hotmail whisking the whole time. And at this point, because we have the eggs in there, we want to be constantly staring this riskiness, and we want to do that until this comes to a boil. You can stop for a second to see if it's boiling, which is snot. And then just keep whisking. Reason why we want to keep riskiness. We don't want the milk to sculpt, and we don't want to get scrambled eggs. So we're keeping this moving. Once it does come to a boil, we're gonna continue to kick it, skipped until we get it to be that pudding consistency, which will be another three to 4 min once it comes to a boil. So you just have to keep basically whisking it till we get that pudding consistency. Even after it comes to a boil, you can see it's boiling now when I stopped, you could see the bubbles were just kinda keep risking it. Tell its pudding consistency. And as I said, that's gonna be three to 4 min. But you'll know because you'll feel that it's the conduct. You can see when I go like that was starting to get that pudding consistency, I'm going to turn the heat off and add my two teaspoons of vanilla. And we're studying. And I want this to cool a little bit before I put it back into that bulk, but I don't need to whisk it constantly, so I'm going to quickly clean the bowl. Again. I am whisking it a little bit as it cools. I'm now going to pour this into the same bowl that I've cleaned out. Risk get some of that steam out. And then I'm going to cover it with plastic wrap. When I mean cover it, I mean, I want this to actually go down and rest on the pudding. This is to prevent it from getting a film. Once I have that resting on the pudding, I can then take my other lid, cover it up. And I'm going to refrigerate this, at least for our switch, become completely cool before we make the parfait. 4. 04 Making The Whipped Topping: I noticed that it was not recording what we put in this Pam. So let me tell you. I picked the one-fourth cup, cold water in the pan and the one teaspoon and flavored gelatin. And I let it sit for two to 3 min. Now we're ready to continue. This is now set for couple of minutes. I want to turn the heat on medium low, and I'm going to stir this until the gelatin is completely dissolved. It's not going to be on the heat very long, just enough to dissolve that gelatin. Alright, you can see the gelatin is to salt. So we're going to turn the heat off. We're going to let this completely cooled down. So we moved from the heat. And then we're going to start making the rest of the talk. I want to mix up the cream of tartar before we add it to the regular whip cream. So one-half teaspoon of cream of tartar here. I find it's actually less messy to do it in a boat and in a bag. And then I'm going to put one tablespoon of that whipping cream. And then with the very small whisk, I just want to whisk it together until the cream of tartar is completely mixed in. That's now ready to be put in with our whipping cream. We're now going to put this creamy tone and mixture into our bowl. We're also going to add the rest of my whipping cream and three tablespoons of sugar. We're now going to treat this with the hand mixer for about 2 min. On a medium-size. It is starting to say just a little bit. And it has been about 2 min. So we're going to pour in that gelatin mixture, our vanilla. And then we're going to continue to beat this until the cream is thickened. You can see it's starting to thicken up. It's not yet the point of whip topping where we can spin it. Getting there. I do not want to mix it because I don't want to make better and I want just a little bit more. And there we have our stabilized whipping cream. 5. 05 Preparing Ingredients for the Parfaits: I'm just going to put some of this in there. And then I want to put my lid on and Pope's it. Because I want course crumbs this way. So you can see more. And then you can see, I have a nice course trunk. And after I've picked the banana, I do want to cut that little bit out. I'm actually going to cut just nice thin slices. And I do not want to cut more than one banana at a time. Now these are ready to go into the park. I have my whip topping, my bananas. Here's my pudding. I'm going to put my painting over on this side with my bananas. I have my kids and my whip topping. I then want to stick my parfait cup seal. And I want to do this in sets of four. I don't really know for sure how many five phases going to make because depending on your cup size, you could make more or less some spoons. 6. 06 Assembling the Parfaits: So we want to start with, I put in a spoonful of the columns on the bottom. Next, I'm going to put a spoonful of the whip topping. Well, it's probably going to want it totally cover those newer way first, so enough to cover those Miller way first. I want to place some of these banana's gonna do like three, enough to cover the whip topping. I'm actually going to put four because I have that little tiny one. And now I want to put the banana pudding in. A little bit. Creamy again. Remember this has banana pudding, not vanilla pudding. So it's got that color of the banana. And we actually want more protein than anything else because this is a banana pudding parfait. We want to make this layer just a little bit thicker than the other. Let me do it with the other ones. That was a much bigger spoonful, so we'll copy only take two spoonfuls for this one. And the bananas in-between, the whip topping and banana pudding, because that's going to help make it so they do not change colors. We're going to come back and add more of a comes. And this time we do add more than last time because what a wider part of the cup. We do want to totally cover the banana pudding. Now we're going to pick whip topping on again. This, we just want enough to cover the combs. We don't want this to be very thick because this is not where the flavor is. We are going to be adding more whip topping on top as a garnish k. Now we want to add our bananas again. And it's a little bit wider up here. So I'm probably going to fit like four on here instead of three. We do like the bananas in there because it is a banana parfait. So obviously, as much bananas we can get the better it's going to be. Now we're going to add more of the printing. We wanted to put into totally cover those bananas. And it's going to basically come almost all the way up to the top like that. So we have four done looking at the stuff. I'm probably going to get three or four more out of this. And then I'll be back when I have that done to show you how to do the top garnishing. Because you don't wanna do the top garnish and tell you that. I ended up getting seven per phase. Now for my finishing with topping, I actually like using a ready because I'm painting this on just before serving. So I'm going to go like this and just makes it that nice, pretty decorative part that I like. And then I'm going to sprinkle it with some mail wafers and stick a banana on top. And the reason why you want to do this just before surfing, because that banana is going to start to brown. Go ahead and add the width and the Nala way. But I will only ask the bananas to a few of them because we're ready to eat them. Let's add our bananas just to those four. Then these ones, when I'm ready to eat them, I can add the bananas. 7. 07 Final Thoughts: Thank you for taking this class. In this class, we had fun making our banana. Pretty hard phase. We first learn how to fuse the milk. So we would get that rich banana flavor in the milk. We then made our banana flavored pudding. Next, we made our stabilized homemade whipping cream. With everything made. We then round up the vanilla wafers, cut bananas, and then we assembled our par phase. I hope your par phase turned out the way that you wanted them to. Your project for this class is to make these banana are the recipes for this Class is in the project section. Please make sure to take a picture and upload it to our project page and tell us how it went. I look forward to hearing from my kitchen to your kitchen. Happy.
