Banana Chocolate Parfaits

The beauty of these Banana-Chocolate Parfaits is not the creamy chocolate pudding and sweet banana. Or that it’s better for you. It’s how easy it is to create. Fall head over heels for these Low-Fat Chocolate-Banana Parfaits. These Low-Fat Chocolate-Banana Parfaits are pretty to look at and delicious to eat! This creamy dessert is easy to make for weekday dinners, yet pretty enough for company.

Layered with sugar-free chocolate pudding, bananas and some fluffy whipped cream, these individual Chocolate Parfaits are a perfectly indulgent dessert to satisfy every chocolate craving! Plus with make-ahead options, these no-bake layer desserts are great for serving to a crowd. Enjoy this parfait as a hearty breakfast, an easy snack or a after dinner treat…I’ll let you choose

Very quick and easy recipe and very filling! Good for a busy day meal. Would probably work with butterscotch pudding and butterscotch chips for garnish. And don’t worry, if you don’t have cute little parfait glasses, go ahead and use clear plastic cups. I like to get the 9 ounce clear plastic tumblers that you can find at any store.
