Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (3.4 oz) Instant pudding mix (vanilla or chocolate)
- 2 cups Cold milk
- 1 cup Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 cup Crushed cookies (e.g., Oreos or graham crackers)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., berries or sliced bananas, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and is free of lumps.
Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to set completely.
Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding using a spatula, creating a light and airy texture.
In clear serving glasses or jars, layer the parfaits by starting with a tablespoon of crushed cookies at the bottom.
Add a layer of pudding mixture on top of the cookies, filling about 1/3 of the glass.
If using fresh fruit, add a layer of your chosen fruit on top of the pudding.
Repeat the layers (cookies, pudding, and optional fruit) until the glasses are filled, finishing with a pudding layer on top.
Sprinkle chocolate chips, sprinkles, or extra crushed cookies on the top layer for garnish.
Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and set completely.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
