Vanilla Pudding Parfait
Here’s an easy and delicious recipe for a homemade cornstarch vanilla pudding you can make into this cute dessert parfait. I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July holiday. If your lucky enough to have today off, this is a delicious suggestion for a patriotic dessert. Traditionally this dessert is made with cubed sheet cake or angel food cake as a trifle or punch bowl cake. In this version, I just left out the cake and added some walnuts for texture. I topped it with Cool Whip and added more berries. I put it in a trifle bowl and it fit perfectly. If you are going to use the cake as a layer, it would fit better in a punch bowl.

This looks lovely! I have been craving pudding this past week (with animal crackers), and I hate buying those Jello boxes. Did you use whole milk or would it be okay to use reduced fat? Thanks for sharing this, love!

I used soy milk this time. Whole milk tastes best and has the best result, but I wanted it to be a bit more figure friendly.

I just realized that it really isn’t that difficult to make a parfait. I tried my first one a couple of months ago using this easy Yogurt Parfait recipe. Now I want to try yours too!
