Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix ensure the brand uses permissible ingredients
- 2 cups cold milk whole or your preferred milk alternative
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free option
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 bars Snickers bars cut into small pieces; use bars without gelatin or other non-permissible ingredients
- caramel sauce store-bought or homemade, made from permissible ingredients
- chopped roasted peanuts for extra crunch
- optional: chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Chocolate Pudding
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
Make the Whipped Cream
- In a separate chilled bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
Layer the Parfait
- Grab your serving glasses or jars. Start by spooning a layer of chocolate pudding at the bottom. Follow with a layer of whipped cream, then sprinkle a generous amount of chopped Snickers pieces and peanuts. Drizzle caramel sauce over the nuts.
- Repeat the layering process until the glasses are filled, finishing with a whipped cream layer on top.
- Top the parfait with more Snickers pieces, a drizzle of caramel, and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Notes
Use chilled bowls and beaters when whipping cream to ensure it whips up quickly and holds its shape. For an extra decadent touch, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top to balance the sweetness. When chopping Snickers bars, use a sharp knife and cut gently to avoid crushing the bars too much. Make the parfait a few hours ahead to let the layers settle and flavors combine beautifully. For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with chilled coconut cream and use a plant-based milk for the pudding. If caramel sauce isn’t available, you can make a quick version by simmering sugar and cream substitutes on low heat until thickened.
