Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet strawberry Jell-O
- 1 packet blue Curaçao Jell-O
- 1 packet lemon Jell-O
- 3 cups boiling water (1 cup for each Jell-O flavor)
- 3 cups cold water (1 cup for each Jell-O flavor)
- 1 packet instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container whipped cream
- Cotton candy
- Gold star sprinkles
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Prepare each Jell-O layer separately by dissolving the Jell-O powder in 1 cup of boiling water, then adding 1 cup of cold water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Pour the first Jell-O layer into individual parfait glasses or small bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until set.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thick and creamy.
- Once the first Jell-O layer is set, carefully pour the pudding layer on top. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until set.
- Repeat steps 1-2 for the remaining Jell-O layers, allowing each layer to set before adding the next.
- Once the final Jell-O layer is set, top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Decorate with cotton candy, gold star sprinkles, and maraschino cherries.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a more vibrant blue color, use a combination of blue and purple Jell-O.
- You can customize the flavors by using different Jell-O and pudding mixes.
- For a fun twist, add a layer of crushed Oreos or chocolate chips between the Jell-O layers.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
