Banana Pudding Parfaits

"This idea comes from Kraft Food but the recipe is my interpretation of the idea. If you like, fat free milk and sugar free pudding mix can be used to make it a lighter dessert."

  1. This is a nice, easy to make and yummy dessert. It is crunchy from the nuts and cookies and also creamy and decadent. I had to use chocolate pudding as that was all I could find, but it paired quite nicely with the banana and we all enjoyed this as a special dessert. However I think this wont become my favourite dessert, somehow I felt something was missing. Cant put my finger on it, though...<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing another lovely recipe with us, Paula.<br/>Made and reviewed for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #52 May 2011.
     
  2. Really nice and easy. Great taste too.
     
  3. I made this for my husband for dessert. I left out the nuts, used vanilla pudding. He loved it! Thanks Paula, for a quick, easy and delicious dessert!
     
  4. A simple delicious dessert. I used skim milk and shortbread cookies. The crunchy pecans were a nice addition to the parfaits. Will make again!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
