Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (4-serving size) Sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups Skim milk
- 1 cup Sugar-free whipped topping
- 2 cups Fresh or frozen cherries (unsweetened)
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate (85% cocoa, sugar-free)
- 1 cup Plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the sugar-free chocolate pudding mix according to package instructions using skim milk. Whisk until smooth and thickened, then set aside.
In another bowl, combine the plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and monk fruit sweetener. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Using a knife or grater, shave the dark chocolate into small flakes and set aside for garnish.
If using fresh cherries, pit them and halve them. If using frozen cherries, thaw them and drain any excess liquid.
In 4 serving glasses or jars, begin assembling the parfaits. Start with a layer of chocolate pudding at the bottom of each glass.
Add a layer of cherries over the pudding, followed by a layer of the sweetened Greek yogurt mixture.
Repeat the layers (pudding, cherries, yogurt) until the glasses are nearly full, finishing with a dollop of sugar-free whipped topping on top.
Garnish each parfait with a few cherry halves and a sprinkle of the shaved dark chocolate.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, or serve immediately. Enjoy a diabetic-friendly dessert that doesn’t compromise on flavor!
