Equipment
- Clear dessert glasses or jars
- Small spoons or spatulas
- Whisk and mixing bowls
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla pudding store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup candy corn bright, sweet, and waxy
- 1 cup whipped cream flavored with vanilla or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs toasted lightly for flavor
- optional extra candy corn, sprinkles, caramel drizzle for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk the vanilla pudding until smooth and glossy, removing any lumps, and set aside.
- Divide the graham cracker crumbs evenly among your glasses, pressing them slightly to form a base layer with a toasted aroma.
- Scoop a layer of pudding over the crumbs, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon until it covers the base and looks shiny and inviting.
- Add a handful of candy corn on top of the pudding layer, letting the bright colors peek through and providing a crunchy contrast.
- Repeat the layering—graham cracker crumbs, pudding, and candy corn—until the glass is nearly full, ending with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Garnish each parfait with extra candy corn, sprinkles, or a drizzle of caramel, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the layers set and meld flavors.
- Serve these cheerful parfaits straight from the fridge, with layers still distinct and the candy corn crunchy, ready to delight the senses.
