Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups non fat Greek yogurt (DP058)

• 1 cup milk (DP571)

• 1.7 oz pack of banana pudding mix (GY1612)

• 2 cups crushed graham crackers (SN934)

• 2 ripe bananas sliced

• 2 cups whipped cream (GY1441)

• ¼ cup coconut flakes (BP259)

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, stir yogurt, milk and pudding mix together until creamy.

2. To assemble parfaits, add ¼ cup crushed graham crackers to the bottom of jar, top that with ¼ cup banana cream filling and a layer of sliced bananas.

3. Repeat step 2.

4. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

5. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and toasted coconut before serving.

Notes:

• To toast coconut, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place coconut flakes on a small baking sheet and bake for 2-4 minutes until toasted. Cool and sprinkle on top of parfaits.

• For the coconut whipped cream, use Azure Market Coconut Whipping Cream (GY1441). Add it to a stand mixer and whip until light and fluffy.

• The filling makes a yummy dip to serve with whole graham crackers or fresh fruit, too!
