Instructions
 

puddings

  • Measure dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, and cocoa for the chocolate pudding) into a medium-sized saucepan and whisk together. 
  • Add milk, vanilla, and egg yolks to a large pourable bowl or measuring cup and whisk until smooth and frothy. 
  • Place ingredients in a bowl and whip with electric mixer on high until soft peaks form. Place in refrigerator until ready to make parfaits.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Whisk together until there are no clumps and the sugar is starting to dissolve. 
  • Place the pan over medium-high heat and whisk continually until the mixture comes to a low boil and becomes thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. 
  • Remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the butter. Continue to stir until the butter is melted and completely incorporated.
  • To avoid skin forming on the top of your pudding, cover it with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap covers the surface of the pudding. 

whipped topping

  • Add cold, heavy whipping cream, sugar, and pure vanilla extract to a large bowl. With the whisk attachment on your hand or stand mixer, whip cream until soft peaks form, and then whip for another 20 seconds.

parfait assembly

  • Put 1/2 cup pudding in the bottom of a 9-ounce clear disposable cup, a dollop of whipped cream, a tablespoon of extra add-ins of your choice, more pudding to cover, and another dollop of whipped cream.
