Easy (and healthy!) Chocolate Parfait

This is a delicious parfait recipe, and it's simple and quick. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare (the recipe below makes 6 individual servings), and it's good to cool in the fridge for about an hour before eating it. This is also refreshingly healthy, because it uses lighter ingredients.

Ingredients
  • 1 package chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups 1% low-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream
  • 1 (8-oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (4 cracker sheets; you can also use chocolate graham crackers)
  • 1 bar of semisweet chocolate to grate on top (optional, of course)
Directions:
Whisk together the pudding, milk, and sour cream in a bowl until blended and smooth. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping. Take out 6 individual cups or glasses and spoon about 1 tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs into each. Add 1/3 cup of the pudding mixture to each cup, and then repeat these layers by adding the crumbs and the pudding. Top each parfait with the remaining whipped topping, and add the grated chocolate if you like. Cover the cups and chill them for at least an hour.

These are easy to make and great for entertaining, plus they're YUMMY. Go try one of these easy recipes sometime during spring break :)

Stay tuned for some amazing chocolate sculptures tomorrow (yes, better than before)!
