Finished with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and optional chocolate shavings, these parfaits are easy to prepare and perfect for chocolate lovers looking for a quick, indulgent treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Cookie Base

  • 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate cake crumbs

Whipped Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to set properly.
  2. Layer the base: In small serving glasses or parfait cups, add a spoonful of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies or cake crumbs to form the base layer at the bottom of each glass.
  3. Add pudding layer: Spoon a layer of the thickened chocolate pudding evenly over the cookie crumbs in each glass.
  4. Add whipped topping: Spread a layer of the thawed whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer in each serving glass.
  5. Repeat layering: If the glass size allows, repeat the sequence by adding another layer of crushed cookies, then pudding, and topped with whipped topping to build up the parfait.
  6. Garnish the parfaits: Drizzle the top with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or sprinkles for an extra decorative and flavorful finish.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to let the layers set and the flavors blend beautifully.

Notes

  • Use cold milk straight from the refrigerator for the best pudding consistency.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use chocolate milk instead of regular milk.
  • If desired, substitute the whipped topping with freshly whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • The parfait can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Feel free to customize by adding nuts, berries, or caramel drizzle for extra texture and flavor.
