Parfait is a delicious dish borrowed from French cuisine. The essence of the parfait is that whipped cream with different fillings is frozen. The taste of parfait is not inferior to ice cream, and is often much more tender. I offer this simple recipe for banana parfait.
1. Start whipping the cooled cream with a mixer at low speed (0.5 minutes). Then add 3 tbsp. powdered sugar and continue beating at high speed until the cream takes a stable form. 
2. Separate the whites from the yolks. Add a pinch of salt to the chilled whites and beat until stiff peaks form. Without stopping whisking, add another 1 tbsp. powdered sugar. 
3. Add the whipped whites to the cream and mix lightly with a spoon using gentle movements from bottom to top.
4. Using a blender, turn the peeled banana into pulp.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the yolks with the remaining powdered sugar and mix them with the banana.
6. Pour the yolk and banana into the molds as the first layer, and whipped cream and egg whites as the second layer. Place in the freezer for 30 - 40 minutes. It is advisable not to over-freeze the dessert so that it does not lose its tenderness and airiness.
