No gravestones or gummy worms required... Oreo and Chocolate Pudding Parfait

 

Oreo and Chocolate Pudding Parfait

 

 

I love this snack its so delicious and easy to make. I usually only see it during Halloween time made up as a graveyard, with gummy worms and gravestones. Since it's not Halloween I left both of those things out. I decided to make this because I had some heavy whipping cream left over from fettuccine, and wanted to use it for something sweet and easy. I always have pudding on hand because I add it to some of my cakes, and I happen to have a pack of Oreos so I was set. You can use Cool Whip or any type of whipped topping you like. You can also use any type of pudding and sandwich cookie you like if you don't have Oreos on hand. They can be made in individual servings or in a big dish. If you're feeling like a zombie you can add gummy worms. :)

 

 

Oreo Chocolate Pudding Parfait

1 Package Instant chocolate pudding
1 Package Oreo cookies or any sandwich cookie crumbled into pieces
(you can use more or less depending on your taste)
Whipped cream homemade or store bought

 

Whipped cream:

1 Cup Heavy cream
1 Tablespoon Powdered sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract

This works best when the heavy cream, bowl, and attachment are cold. I put them both in the freezer for about 10 minutes or so to make them cold. Whip heavy cream until peaks are about to form. Add sugar and vanilla and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. You can add more or less sugar depending on how sweet you like it. Be careful not over mix or it will start to separate, and look like butter.

Parfait:

Prepare chocolate pudding according to directions on package. In a serving dish mix Oreos and chocolate pudding. Top with whipped cream and more cookie crumbles. Chill and enjoy!
