Apricot Parfaits
"This is from the food section of Real Simple Magazine. You can use either the shortbread cookies or replace them with chocolate wafer type cookies and use strawberry or raspberry preserves instead of the apricot. You may want to break the cookies up just a little."

great dessert! I made this using my recipe#147093 that I sliced in a cookie size squares, I think this would work great using different flavors of preserves and I am going to give that a try, thanks for sharing Kim we enjoyed this! -
Made this up in a small casserole dish for a neighbor couple with a sweet tooth (I love those kind of neighbors!) & they were thrilled with it! I used the shortbread cookies AND a very generous 1/2 cup of preserves, alamost 3 cups of vanilla pudding, then topped everything off with some crushed oreo cookies (Thanks to Redsie)! Made a little side dish just for taste-testing, of course ~ What a wonderful dessert! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16] -
This is easy and so good! Used marmalade and 100 calorie pack of oreo cookies that I crussheda bit. Didn't add any Cool Whip - added a bit more crumbled cookies. Thanks Kim! :) -
Very yummy and beautiful...and easy to boot!
