When entertaining guests, Nancy Stock of Minonk, Illinois often adds sliced bananas to this layered pudding dessert. It makes a beautiful presentation and is good for you, too, she notes.
Ingredients:
2 cups cold milk
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 teaspoon grated lime peel, optional
1/2 cup pineapple tidbits
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted, divided
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
whipped cream in a can
2 maraschino cherries
Directions:
1. In a bowl, whisk the milk, extract and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Stir in coconut and lime peel if desired. In each of two 1-1/2-cup parfait glasses or dessert dishes, layer about 1/3 cup pudding mixture, 1/4 cup pineapple, 2 tablespoons almonds, 1/3 cup pudding mixture, 1/4 cup strawberries, 2 tablespoons almonds and remaining pudding mixture.
2. Top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with the remaining almonds. Garnish with cherries. Yield: 2 servings.
