Banana Cream Pudding Parfaits

Submitted by Brooke the Cook in

"Yummy banana pudding parfaits. Quick as a whistle and pretty enough to serve to guests. Would serve 4 but DH and I have eaten the entire thing before!"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 sheets cinnamon graham crackers
• 2 ounces fat free cream cheese, room temperature
• 4 ounces Cool Whip Free, divided
• 1 (1 ounce) box sugar-free instant banana pudding mix
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1⁄4 cups skim milk
• 1 banana, sliced thin
• cinnamon, for sprinkling

directions

1. Crush graham crackers in a baggie with rolling pin until course crumbs. Set aside.
2. Using a whisk, whisk cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
3. Add pudding mix, milk and vanilla; whisking until smooth.
4. Fold in 2 ounces of whipped topping. Reserve 2 ounces cool whip to top parfaits.
5. To make two parfaits. The layering really doesn't matter - do whatever you think looks the best! Here's how I do the layers for my DH and I: layer each parfait with graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 banana, 1/4 pudding mixture, 1/2 ounce whipped topping, 1/4 banana, 1/4 pudding mixture, 1/2 ounce whipped topping and lastly remaining graham cracker crumbs.
6. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
7. Can be eaten immediately or set in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow crumbs to soften (not too long or they'll turn to mush). Enjoy!

YUMMMMMY! So rich and fluffy. Ken and I loved these. I think you could easily make 4 servings and wow, would the fat and calories go down! Made for holiday tag.

These were sooo good!!! Made as directed just forgot the cinnamon. I didn't have parfait glasses so I used juice glasses; was able to get 3 parfaits with a little pudding left. Will make again!! Made for Spring 2009 PAC.

This was too good. I think the cinnamon grahms gave it a delicious boost.

Awesome! My DH loved the generous serving sizes and I loved how easy it was to make! I used 1% milk and loved the addition of cinnamon!

My husband's comment has always been that he's the 'lucky' one to rid ourselves of all the overripe bananas. This gives me every reason to use them up quickly. Now he CAN honestly say he's one lucky man! Made for Alphabet Soup Tag.
