Shannon’s Black Forest Parfait
Description:
I thought up this delightful dessert because my grandma adores anything black forest-themed, and I found myself with an excess of cherry pie filling. While the parfait tends to lean slightly towards the sweet-tart side, you can always adjust the sweetness by adding a touch more sweetener to the pie filling. However, I personally enjoy it with this subtle balance of flavors.

Ingredients:
- 1 package sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 packages sugar-free chocolate fudge pudding and pie filling mix
- 24 nilla wafers
- 1 cup skim milk
Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Pudding: In a large bowl, combine the skim milk with the chocolate pudding mixes, whisking until well blended and smooth.
-
Layer Parfait Glasses: Begin assembling the parfaits by placing one nilla wafer at the bottom of each of the 3 parfait glasses.
-
Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of cherry pie filling on top of the nilla wafer in each glass, spreading it out evenly.
-
Layer with Pudding: Next, layer each glass with about 3 tablespoons of the prepared chocolate pudding mixture, ensuring it covers the cherry pie filling completely.
-
Add Nilla Wafers: Place 3 nilla wafers on top of the pudding layer in each glass, pressing them down gently.
-
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers with another round of cherry pie filling, pudding, and nilla wafers until all the ingredients have been used, ending with a final layer of pudding on top.
-
Refrigerate: Cover the parfait glasses with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the nilla wafers to soften slightly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, remove the parfaits from the refrigerator, unwrap, and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every spoonful!

- Feel free to customize these parfaits by adding layers of whipped cream or chocolate shavings between the pudding and cherry pie filling for an extra indulgent touch.
