Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of Reddi Wip Fat-Free Dairy Whipped Topping
  • 1 ripe Banana
  • 3 ounces of Great Value No Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling
  • 1 cup of Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 package of Sugar-Free Fat-Free Chocolate Pudding Mix

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt with 1/4 package of sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding mix. Stir until the pudding mix is fully incorporated into the yogurt, creating a smooth and velvety chocolate yogurt mixture. Set aside.
  2. Dice the Banana: Peel the ripe banana and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Ensure that the banana pieces are evenly sized for consistent distribution throughout the parfait layers. Set aside.
  3. Layer the Parfait: Assemble your parfait glasses or serving dishes. Begin by spooning a layer of the chocolate pudding yogurt mixture into the bottom of each glass, ensuring an even distribution across the surface. Next, add a layer of diced bananas on top of the chocolate yogurt mixture, followed by a layer of Great Value No Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling.
  4. Repeat Layers: Continue layering the ingredients until the parfait glasses are filled, alternating between the chocolate pudding yogurt mixture, diced bananas, and cherry pie filling. Ensure that each layer is spread evenly to create a visually appealing presentation.
  5. Garnish with Whipped Topping: Finish each parfait by topping it with a dollop of Reddi Wip Fat-Free Dairy Whipped Topping. This adds a light and airy texture to the dessert while enhancing its overall presentation.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Decadent Chocolate Cherry Banana Parfait immediately or refrigerate for a chilled dessert experience. Garnish with additional toppings such as chocolate shavings, fresh cherries, or mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.

Tips:

  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the fat-free Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt such as almond or coconut yogurt.
  • Experiment with different fruit combinations such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries to create your own unique parfait variations.
  • To enhance the chocolate flavor, sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings between the parfait layers.
  • Customize the sweetness of the parfait by adjusting the amount of cherry pie filling or adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
  • Get creative with the presentation by serving the parfaits in decorative glasses or mason jars, garnished with a chocolate-dipped cherry or a sprinkle of crushed nuts.
