Coconut Mandarin Parfaits

Recipe #284206 | 25 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This is a tropical twist on a recipe I found in a magazine. I used one 11 oz can of mandarin oranges, but you can adjust how much you use to your own tastes. You can also use Vanilla instant pudding, and 1 - 2 tsp of coconut extract. You can easily double the recipe if your dessert glasses are taller.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Pour milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min or until well blended.
  2. 2
    Spoon half of the pudding evenly into 4 dessert glasses, and drop a few mandarin orange slices into the pudding.
  3. 3
    Let pudding set for 5-10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Cover with few mandarin slices, touching the edge of glass.
  5. 5
    Top orange slices with a spoonful of sheredded coconut, rest of pudding, then the rest of coconut.
  6. 6
    There is no set amount for each serving, just divide the layers evenly for four servings. You can also get creative with your ingredients -- like substituting bananas for the oranges. I think two average-sized bananas would work.

I made one of these today, but I added a cut up banana on top of the mandarin slices. I used an organic pudding that I had to cook and added a tbsp. of vanilla to it. I assembled the parfait with the pudding on the bottom, then the mandarin slices, then the banana, then the whipped topping, then the coconut and a sprinkle of pecans on top. Yum, it was good, both my DH and I gobbled this up. The possibilities are endless and next I'm going to do a chocolate parfait. Thanks for this great recipe.
