My son needed to create a dessert for his cooking class
TONIGHT (you know how that goes) so this is what we came up with based on what
we had in our cupboards. We started with the pudding and then thought about
adding bananas, then the crust idea, but we didn’t want to do a pie… it just all
came together. These little parfaits turned out delicious!
Banana Pudding Parfaits
1 box vanilla pudding (5 oz)
3 cups milk
1 or 2 bananas, sliced
1 sleeve graham crackers (around 9 whole crackers)
1 TB granulated sugar
3 TB butter, melted
Flaked Coconut
Directions:
Make the pudding according to the package directions. Put in
the refrigerator.
Put the graham crackers in a plastic bag and pound with a
rolling pin to make crumbs. (Or put the crackers in a food processor.) Pour the
crumbs in a small bowl. Melt the butter
and add to the crackers with the sugar. Mix well.
Slice one banana. Slice more if needed.
Put about one tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture at the bottom of each parfait
glass. Parfait glasses vary in size so use your own judgement. Put a few tablespoons of pudding on top of
the crumbs. Layer a few sliced bananas,
then more pudding on top of that. Put
one slice of banana on the top vertically, then sprinkle with flaked coconut
and more graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate
until ready to serve.
*We didn't have any whipped cream, but a nice swirl of cream on top with the banana slice stuck in it, would be lovely.
Happy Baking!
Sounds marvy. I always love single servings. Is the pudding instant or cooked? I'm sure both would work. Great to hear from you!!
