Ingredients  

Prepared Recipe of Vanilla Pudding

  • 1 small banana
  • vanilla wafers, 1 per parfait
  • 5 vanilla wafers crushed for crumbs
  • 1 tbsp coconut, this is enough to make 2 servings
  • 1 tsp coconut to sprinkle on top

Instructions

Vanilla Wafer Crumbs

  • Put 4-5 vanilla wafers in a small plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them to make crumbs. I used 5 cookies and topped 6 parfaits and had a lot of crumbs left. Set aside.

Banana Parfaits

  • Put a vanilla wafer in the bottom of the glass. Put ¼ cup of pudding over the cookie.
  • Put 2-3 slices of banana on top of the pudding.
  • Cover the banana slices with another ¼ c of pudding. Smooth out the top. Sprinkle some cookie crumbs on the top of the pudding.

Vanilla Parfaits

  • Put a vanilla wafer in the bottom of the glass. Put ½ cup of pudding over the cookie.
  • Smooth out the top. Sprinkle some cookie crumbs on the top of the pudding.

Coconut Parfaits

  • Put ⅔ c of vanilla pudding in a small bowl and mix in the coconut.
  • Put a vanilla wafer in the bottom of the glass. Put ⅓ cup of coconut pudding over the cookie.
  • Smooth out the top. Sprinkle some coconut on the top of the pudding.
  • Top all of the parfaits with a dollop of Reddi-wip or other whipped topping of your choice and serve.
  • Refrigerate left over pudding and parfaits.

Notes

My vanilla pudding recipe posted earlier makes 7 - 1/2 c servings or 10 - 1/3 c servings. The 1/2 c serving is 2 pt and the 1/3 c serving is 1 pt.
 
You will need a vanilla wafer for each parfait and you will need to crush several for crumbs to sprinkle on the top.
