I have fallen in love with parfaits…well, actually parfaits and trifles. They are creamy, cold, easy to make and the combinations are endless! I am having so much fun making these delicious desserts and my husband is applauding me all along the way. (It might be because he is one of the recipients of these yummy treats!)
Today I was looking through my recipe box and found a wonderful microwave vanilla cream pudding recipe. It was one that my Mother had given me years and years ago and is my favorite homemade pudding recipe. One of the reasons I like it is because I always have the ingredients on hand so I can make it anytime the craving hits.

I used gluten free granola in my parfait
Place a layer of your favorite granola into a pretty bowl or stemware. I used gluten free granola that I purchased at Aldi’s.
Layer granola, pudding mixture until the glass is full. Top with whipped topping.
Layer granola and pudding mixture until the stemware is filled to the brim. Top with whipped topping, sliced fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of coconut. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Top with fresh strawberries.
I hope that you enjoy this super easy, super delicious dessert!
