Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 pack (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 16 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk the 2 cups of cold whole milk with the 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix and a pinch of salt for 2 minutes until thick. Press plastic wrap to the surface and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  2. Crush the 16 chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-lock bag with a rolling pin until you have a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks. Stir in the 2 tbsp of melted butter until the crumbs clump slightly.
  3. Beat the 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream with the 2 tbsp of powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract on medium-high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until soft peaks form.
  4. Layer into 4 clear glasses: start with 2 tbsp cookie crumbs, then pudding, then whipped cream, then more crumbs, and repeat to the rim. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  5. Top each parfait with a spoonful of whipped cream and a pinch of reserved cookie crumbs, and serve immediately from the fridge.

Notes

Hold back about 4 tbsp of the cookie crumbs before you start assembling so you have enough for a proper topping on each glass. These can be made up to 2 days ahead; just add the crumb topping at the last minute. The pudding layer will be slightly looser if your milk was not fully cold when you mixed it.
