Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar for the whipped cream
  • 2 cups heavy cream chilled
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt for creaminess
  • 1 cup vanilla pudding store-bought or homemade
  • 24 digestive cookies or graham crackers roughly crushed
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 cup caramel sauce cooled slightly

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Blender or food processor

Method
 

  1. Start by making the whipped cream: pour the chilled heavy cream into a mixing bowl, add sugar, and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt and vanilla pudding into the whipped cream until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a bowl, combine crushed digestive cookies with melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated and sticky.
  4. Spoon a layer of cookie mixture into the bottom of each glass, pressing down lightly to create a firm base.
  5. Add a generous layer of the whipped mixture over the cookie base, smoothing the top with a spoon or spatula.
  6. Pour a thin layer of cooled caramel sauce over the whipped layer, allowing it to drip slightly for a caramel streak effect.
  7. Repeat the layers: add more cookie mixture, then whipped cream, and finish with a caramel drizzle on top.
  8. Decorate the final layer with colorful sprinkles that mimic the iconic candy corn colors for a festive touch.
  9. Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes so flavors meld and the layers set.
  10. When ready to serve, give them a final sprinkle of colorful decorations, and enjoy the vibrant, creamy layers with crisp cookie bits.
