As I’ve mentioned, our Mother’s Day weekend was a flurry of activity, ending with a super casual Brandsen family dinner at our house on Sunday evening. Not only was it Mother’s Day, but (my sister-in-law) Jenna’s birthday too!
Being realistic with myself, I figured I could probably either make a special recipe for dessert or something that looked pretty, but not both. And so this weekend, chocolate pudding with whipped topping took a turn for the fancy.
These parfait glasses were a birthday gift from last year that I haven’t used yet, and now I know that if you want perfect layers, you’ve got to do better than pouring pudding over a spoon. Which leads me to my self-evaluated grade: A for effort (I tried the layer thing), C for execution (layers are tougher than they seem). Or is it C for effort, because pudding is so easy, and A for execution, because it ended up relatively pretty and still edible?
The bottom line is: I have these pretty little parfait glasses. What’s your favorite parfait dessert? And can you tell me how to make it? As much as we all love pudding, I think these guys deserve something a wee bit more exciting next time.
(And yes, we lit a candle in Jenna’s parfait. Obvs.)
Inspire; to breathe 
No way…”A’s” all around! Those looked fantastic.
Happy Late Birthday to your S.I.L. too.

Aw, haha thanks! I guess it’s not a bad thing to always have room for improvement, right? 🙂
Beautiful!! I agree – A’s all around! I love layering berries, yogurt, and granola – one of my favorite childhood breakfasts! I bet you could do cereal too! 😉
Well thanks, Blaze! I love the idea of using the mini parfaits for breakfast. That sounds like a great idea!
By the way, I love your ocean artwork.. So pretty! I hope your store is going well. I’m planning on posting about my pretty prints from you SOON! 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to see! xo!
I think you get an A across the board! I love pudding and I’m sure it was delish, plus it looks more creative than proper layers 🙂 Yum!
Ha! I like that – more creative. That way there’s no “right” way of doing it. 🙂 Well at least next time I won’t be trying to pour pudding over a spoon anyway. haha
