Directions
1. Heat 4 cups water to a boil in a small saucepot over high heat. Add pistachios; cook 5 minutes. Drain; cool completely, removing any remaining pistachio skins. Transfer pistachios to a blender; add 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water and purée on high until smooth, scraping down sides of blender occasionally. Add avocado, cottage cheese and 1 tablespoon honey; purée on high until smooth, scraping down sides of blender occasionally. Transfer to a medium bowl; refrigerate 2 hours or until chilled. Makes about 2 cups pistachio mixture.
2. Purée 2 bananas, 1/4 cup dark chocolate and cocoa powder in a blender on high until smooth; transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate 1 hour or until slightly thickened. Makes about 1 cup banana mixture.
3. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add kataifi; cook 3 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Transfer to a plate; cool completely.
4. Stir buttery spread and remaining 1 tablespoon honey in a small bowl.
5. Divide 1/4 cup pistachio mixture into bottom of 4 (8-ounce) glasses; top each with 2 tablespoons banana mixture and drizzle with 3/4 teaspoon honey mixture. Repeat layers once; top each with 1/4 of the remaining sliced banana and 1/4 cup kataifi, and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup dark chocolate. Garnish parfaits with pistachios, if desired. Makes 4 parfaits.
