Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1 box (3.4 oz) Vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups Cold milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or extra cookie crumbs (optional garnish)
Instructions
Start by crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies. Place the cookies in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into small crumbs. Set aside.
Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions. In a medium bowl, whisk the pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let it rest for 5 minutes to set.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the prepared pudding to make it even creamier. Reserve the other half of the whipped cream for layering and topping the parfaits.
Begin assembling the parfaits. Use 4 individual serving glasses or jars. Start with a layer of crushed cookies at the bottom of each glass, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture, then a layer of whipped cream.
Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Sprinkle the tops with extra cookie crumbs or chocolate shavings for garnish, if desired.
Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour to chill and set before serving.
Serve cold with a spoon and enjoy this delightful cookies and cream treat!
