Ingredients
- 6 whole Plums
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Granola
- 6 whole Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the pits.
Step 3
Place the plum halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side up.
Step 4
Sprinkle the plums with brown sugar and drizzle honey over them.
Step 5
Roast the plums in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 6
Remove the plums from the oven and let them cool completely.
Step 7
While the plums cool, make the mascarpone whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Step 8
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overmix, as the cream can curdle.
Step 9
To assemble the parfaits, layer granola, roasted plums, and mascarpone whipped cream in serving glasses. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of cream on top.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
