Bon Appétit | March 2010 Ingredients:
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips |
6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided |
3/4 cup mascarpone cheese |
3 tablespoons amaretto |
2 tablespoons sugar |
8 slices angel food cake, 1/2-inch-thick |
24 slices bananas, 1/3-inch-thick diagonal (from about 3 bananas) |
1/3 cup about sliced almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Heat chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons cream in microwave in 1-cup glass measuring cup at 50 percent power just until chocolate is melted, about 30 to 35 seconds. Stir to blend; cool chocolate sauce to lukewarm. Whisk mascarpone, amaretto, sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons cream in medium bowl until blended and mixture just starts to thicken.
2. Using 2 1/2-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out round from each angel food cake slice. Place 1 cake round in each of 4 wine goblets or old-fashioned glasses. Top each cake round with 3 banana slices, 1 heaping tablespoon mascarpone mixture, bittersweet chocolate sauce, and sprinkling of almonds. Repeat parfait layering 1 more time and serve.
