  • 5 egg yolks separate yolks from eggs
  • 4 cups whole milk

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 egg yolk separate yolks from eggs

whipped topping

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions
 

puddings

  • Measure all dry ingredients together in a medium sized sauce pan and stir to incorporate.
    In a large pourable bowl or measuring cup add milk, vanilla, and egg yolks whisk until smooth.
    Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk together. Place pan over medium high heat and continually whisk until mixture comes to a low boil and becomes thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and stir butter into hot pudding. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of pudding and let cool. (this is so a skin doesn’t form on pudding, step can be skipped! That is if you don’t mind having a few lumps in your pudding parfaits.)
    Repeat this process for chocolate pudding

whipped topping

  • Place ingredients in a bowl and whip with electric mixer on high until soft peaks form. Place in refrigerator until ready to make parfaits.

parfait assembly

  • 1/2 cup pudding in bottom of 9 ounce clear disposable cup, a dollop of whipped cream, a tablespoon of extra add-ins of your choice, more pudding to cover, another dollop of whipped cream. Cover with plastic wrap, and store for up to 2 days in refrigerator. When ready to eat, sprinkle more add-ons to the top.
