Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup vanilla pudding or prepared vanilla pudding
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled, for whipping
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for sweetening whipped cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup candy corn for crunchy layers and garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixture
  • Parfait glasses or small clear jars
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form, creating a fluffy whipped cream.
  2. Gently fold the whipped cream into the vanilla pudding to create a smooth, creamy mixture with a light texture.
  3. Measure out the candy corn, reserving a small amount for garnish, and chop or break some into smaller pieces for added crunch.
  4. Layer a few spoonfuls of the pudding mixture into the bottom of each parfait glass, smoothing it out gently.
  5. Add a layer of candy corn pieces over the pudding, distributing them evenly for color and texture.
  6. Repeat the process by adding another layer of pudding, followed by a few more candy corn pieces, until the glasses are filled near the top.
  7. Finish each parfait with a final dollop of whipped cream, then sprinkle the reserved candy corn or smaller pieces on top for a festive finishing touch.
  8. Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
  9. Serve the parfaits chilled, enjoying their vibrant layers and contrasting textures that evoke Halloween fun.

Notes

For extra color, use orange and yellow food coloring in the pudding layers, or add sprinkles for more visual flair.
