Ready to move beyond basic vanilla or chocolate this ice cream season?
Much as we love those classics, with so many crazy – and crazy delicious – flavour combinations flooding the freezer aisle of the supermarket, it’s hard to resist making some big, boldly flavoured frozen concoctions of our own.
Try this recipe for a bee sting parfait, inspired by the honey, almond and coconut-studded pastry of the same name.

BEE STING PARFAIT
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 2
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons grated coconut, large flakes if available
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 banana, diced
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
Heat the oven to 350 F. Spread the almonds and coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Place in the freezer to chill for 5 minutes.
To assemble the parfaits, add a teaspoon of coconut and almonds to the bottom of each parfait glass. Top with a tablespoon of banana and a drizzle of honey. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Continue layering in this order until you’ve used all the ingredients and filled the glass. Serve immediately.
