Instructions
- For the first layer:
- The best way is to prepare mashed potatoes in advance. Using a fork, poke 8 holes all over the potatoes.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle it with olive oil. Give the potatoes a good rub making sure the entire surface is covered with oil.
- Bake them at 400F for about 45 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool down completely.
- In a medium bowl, using a potato masher, mash the potato.Add minced ginger, nutmeg, and maple syrup. Divide mixture in half and set aside.
- For the second layer:
- In a small bowl, mix pecans with pine mix, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- For the third layer:
- For this recipe, I used coconut whip from the Reddi Wip. You have an option to use store-bought coconut or almond whipped cream or prepare your own from the canned full-fat coconut cream. For the canned coconut milk:Allow one can of full-fat coconut milk to chill in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Don’t move it! Gently open the can and scoop out the thick coconut cream.Whip it until fluffy and light for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on what you if using hand beaters or a stand mixer.
- For the fought layer:
- Take the second half of the mashed potatoes and combine its maple syrup and coconut cream.
- For the fifth layer:
- In a small bowl, fold whipped coconut cream with pine nuts.
- For the top layer:
- Top with pecans, pine nuts, and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Arrange the parfait:
- Using tall glasses, arrange the layers of parfait and serve immediately!
