Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Pudding
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Layers
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate cake crumbs
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Garnish (optional)
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
- Add cookie layer: Place a spoonful of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate cake crumbs at the bottom of each small serving glass or parfait cup.
- Layer pudding: Spoon a layer of the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the cookie crumbs in each glass.
- Layer whipped topping: Add a layer of the thawed whipped topping on top of the pudding layer in each glass.
- Repeat layers: If your glasses have enough room, repeat the layers of cookie crumbs, pudding, and whipped topping for a taller parfait.
- Garnish: Drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles on top if desired.
- Chill: Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- You can use any type of chocolate cake crumbs or chocolate sandwich cookies according to your preference.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and whipped topping with plant-based alternatives.
- Make sure the pudding mix and milk are well chilled for optimal thickening.
- Serve immediately after chilling to maintain texture and freshness.
