Perfect Dessert Idea

So you want a dessert that is light AND satisfying, well I have a dessert option that satisfies your sweet tooth cravings.

My dessert is a vanilla pudding parfait.

Ingredients:

for the topping:

some berries(any kind that you love!)

2 to 3 tbsps of sugar

cool whip or rediwhip

a few chocolate chips

for the pudding:

1 tbsp of vanilla extract

1/2 cup of white sugar

2.5 tbsps of cornstarch

1 2/3 cups of whole milk

3 egg yolks

1 tbsp of butter

1 pinch of salt

plastic wrap

Directions:

First we start with the pudding: Mix the ingredients of the pudding, except the butter, in a pot. Put the pot on the stove and cook the pudding on medium, stirring constantly until it starts to bubble and thicken. Once this occurs, put in the butter and melt it. Then put it on low and cook until all of the pudding thickens. Finally, put the pudding in a bowl and put the plastic wrap directly on the pudding so a skin won't form. Then put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to cool.

Next we do the berries: Take your clean berries and just put the sugar on them. Mix them together and chill them in the fridge.

When you are ready to eat your dessert, put 3 tbsps of pudding in a glass. Then put on 1 tbsp of berries. Next, top with 1 tbsp of the whipped topping, make it pretty with a pinch of chocolate chips and enjoy!

This dessert is perfect and versatile, you can really make 3 desserts with this recipe. You can also just have some pudding with whipped topping on top (really delicious) and you can simple have berries and cream.
