Banana Split Parfaits Recipe

Directions:

1. Pour mlk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes, or until well blended. Gently stir in 1 cup of the whipped topping; spread into 8-inch square pan. Freeze 3 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
2. Chop 16 of the wafers. Spoon scant tablespoons of the chopped wafers into each of eight parfait glasses or dessert dishes. Scoop 1/4 cup of the pudding mixture into each glass with ice cream scoop; sprinkle evenly with chopped wafers.
3. Cut bananas in half lengthwise, then cut each piece crosswise in half. Stand 1 banana piece in each parfait glass. Fill evenly with the remaining 1/2 cup whipped topping, remaining 8 wafers and the cherries. Serve immediately.
4. MAKE IT EASY: Let frozen pudding mixture stand at room temperature about 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
5. JAZZ IT UP: Top with your favourite ice cream toppings, such as chocolate or caramel ice cream topping, Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme or colored sprinkles.
