If you're looking for a quick and easy summer dessert, try these simple summer parfaits, which look attractive when layered in clear glasses or dessert bowls.

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 3 1/2 ounce pack of instant vanilla pudding and pie mix
  • 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
  • 2 cups of fresh mixed berries, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups fat-free whipped topping
  • Berries for garnish

Preparation:

Whisk vanilla pudding and pie mix using fat-free milk. Whisk for 2 minutes. Leave pudding to stand and thicken for a few minutes. Divide 1 cup of fruit between four dessert glasses. Use half the vanilla pudding, divided among the four glasses. Add half the whipped topping, followed by another layer of fruit, pudding and whipped topping. Garnish with a slice or two of strawberries or a few blueberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
