Coconut Mandarin Parfaits

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cold nonfat milk
  • 3 1/2 ounces jello fat-free coconut cream instant pudding mix
  • 1 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • whipped cream, for garnish

Directions:

Pour milk into a medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min or until well blended.

Spoon half of the pudding evenly into 4 dessert glasses, and drop a few mandarin orange slices into the pudding.

Let pudding set for 5-10 minutes.

Cover with few mandarin slices, touching the edge of the glass.

Top orange slices with a spoonful of shredded coconut, rest of pudding, then the rest of coconut.

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.
