This is somewhat based on a Paula Deen recipe, but I think it is better :-) A very easy and delicious dessert! The directions are for serving in a glass bowl, but this can be served in parfait glasses as well (of course)! Ingredients:
1 lb butter pound cake, cubed |
6 ounces chocolate syrup (or to taste) or 6 ounces ice cream topping (or to taste) |
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping (cool whip) |
2 (1 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix |
4 cups cold milk (for the pudding) |
3 cups strawberries, sliced |
1 cup pecans, toasted |
1 whole large strawberry (for top) |
Directions:
1. Mix the packages of pudding with the cold milk with a whisk until the whisk starts to leave a trail.
2. In a medium glass bowl, layer the parfait.
3. For each layer: 1/3 of the pound cake, then 1/3 of the pudding, then 1/3 of the strawberries, 1/3 of the whipped topping, then 1/4 of the chocolate sauce, then 1/3 of the pecans. Make 3 layers.
4. On top of the last layer, put the whole strawberry in the center.
5. Chill for at least 15 minutes so the pudding sets.
6. Serve! (Note: It will look much prettier in the bowl than after it is served. I was not able to successfully get a pretty looking serving out of the bowl!).
