Striped Pudding Parfaits

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 6

This is a recipe from The Pampered Chef (R) "Kids in the Kitchen" recipe book (no longer in print). This is almost word for word from the book:

2 cups cold milk
1 pkg (3.9 oz) chocolate instant pudding and pie filling
2 cups thawed frozen whipped topping
1 pint strawberries
2 medium bananas

1. Pour milk into Classic Batter Bowl. Add pudding mix and beat with Stainless Steel Whisk for 2 minutes until pudding begins to thicken. Refrigerate 5 minutes.

2. Attach Open Star Tip to Easy Accent(R) Decorator. Using Medium Scoop, fill tube with whipped topping.

3. Remove stems from strawberries. Peel bananas. On Cutting Board, cut bananas into 2-inch pieces using My Safe CutterTM. Slice strawberries and bananas using Egg Slicer Plus(R).

4. In 6 (6-8 oz) parfait or clear plastic drinking glasses, layer pudding, whipped topping, strawberries, bananas, and granola any way you like. Top with a strawberry fan or extra banana slices, if desired.


Cook's Tip:

By using other flavors of pudding and different fruits, you can create an almost endless number of flavor combinations. Just let your imagination run wild!

Tool Tip:

The Medium Scoop is the perfect tool for scooping pudding into the parfait glasses.

Berries and Cream Flag

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4



This is something I did with the Activity Day girls in celebration of Independence Day. It was really easy and they did almost the whole thing!

1 qt. fresh strawberries
1/2 pt. fresh blueberries
1 can whipped cream

Wash and hull strawberries and place top-side down in rows in a small rectangle pan (like one used for a toaster oven), leaving a rectangle of empty space where the stars would go on an American flag. Wash blueberries and place in empty space. Using whipped cream, make stripes in between rows of strawberries and make a few "stars" in the blue section.
