Absolutely Delish Vegan Peanut Buster Parfait



Sound too good to be true?? If you were a Dairy Queen junkie in the past like we were, you would try anything too. 
We spend a good deal of time at the beach. A McManus family tradition as far back as I can remember, was hitting the DQ on our way home. The family favorite? Peanut Buster Parfait. Unfortunately they were followed by stomach aches. Go figure. It sure was good going down though. 
I have mentioned This Rawsome Vegan Life before because she is probably my favorite raw chef and she is only 19. The same age as my daughter, whom is also very health conscious, adventurous, a great photographer and an awesome writer. This Rawsome Vegan Life posted a gorgeous photo on my FB feed yesterday that made my mouth water-" banana ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce". Inspired by her and her photography (which will never happen until I get a camera other than the one on my phone) I decided to go for it. Here is my version of her recipe. 

Absolutely Delish Vegan Peanut Buster Parfait


ice cream:
3 frozen bananas

chocolate sauce:
1 T melted coconut oil
1 T cacao powder
1 t maple syrup ( important that it is room temperature and not cold, otherwise coconut will harden)

garnish:
organic peanuts ( slightly warmed) 

Place frozen bananas in processor. Process until they become ultra creamy. Takes a few minutes. 
Stir chocolate sause ingredients in small glass dish. Pour over ice cream.
Toast peanuts slightly in oven. Sprinkle on top.
Dig in. Count your blessings. Amen.
