Description

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this festive and easy-to-make parfait featuring layers of lime gelatin-infused vanilla pudding, whipped cream, and crunchy graham crackers or granola, topped with colorful green candies and chocolate shavings for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Base Layers

  • 2 cups vanilla pudding (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 package lime gelatin
  • 1-2 cups whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

Crunchy Layer

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers or granola

Garnishes (Optional)

  • 1 cup green candy or M&M’s
  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Gelatin Layer: In a medium bowl, prepare the lime gelatin according to the package instructions. Once set, fold the gelatin into the vanilla pudding to create a light green, creamy mixture.
  2. Make Whipped Cream (if homemade): Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 cup of whipped cream into the pudding mixture to lighten and fluff it.
  3. Layer Parfait: Using clear glasses or cups, start by adding a layer of the lime pudding mixture followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat these layers until the glass is filled, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
  4. Add Crunch: Sprinkle a layer of crushed graham crackers or granola between the pudding and whipped cream layers to add texture and crunch.
  5. Garnish: Top the parfait with green candies like M&M’s or green sprinkles, and finish with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips to add a festive look and extra flavor.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set before serving.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought or homemade vanilla pudding and whipped cream based on your preference.
  • The green candy and chocolate toppings are optional but add a festive and fun look perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.
  • For a lighter version, use low-fat or sugar-free pudding and whipped cream alternatives.
  • If you prefer a crunchier texture, substitute granola with your favorite nut or seed mix.
  • Make sure to chill the gelatin thoroughly for the best layering effect.
