Add these Banana Cream Parfaits to your Holiday Menus
Banana desserts are my all-time favorite. I love how sweet and creaminess banana tastes when combined with ice cream, milk or cream. Desserts such as banana ice cream, banana cream pie, bananas foster, and banoffee are my weakness and I’m about to add one more to the list.
La Lechera has a new Lactose Free Sweetened Condensed milk and I was excited to incorporate it in this product. It’s a great way to reduce lactose in already lactose-heavy desserts. It’s also perfect as a replacement all together. Thank you La Lechera!
These banana cream parfaits whip together in less than 30 minutes. That includes refrigeration time! They make a great ending to a large feast and can feed a crowd easily. Since it’s layered, you can always decrease the layers and feed more.

But I must warn you. This dessert is light, fluffy and so delicious, your guests will want to come back for seconds and thirds. I’m definitely skipping the pie and adding this dessert to my holiday menu.
If you are lactose intolerant or are watching your dairy intake, this is the perfect alternative.
The verdict: La Lechera Lactose-Free has the same great flavor, creamy consistency and quality as the original La Lechera. I loved it! Always with the authentic, Latin flavor we know and love!. Want to try it out? You can find it on Walmart.com
