Today’s recipe has been submitted by Martha White Kitchens.
Banana Berry
Pudding Parfait
Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
1 (7.6 ounces) package Martha White® Banana Nut Muffin Mix
21⁄2 cups milk, divided
1 (3.4 ounces) package instant vanilla pudding and pie filling mix
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
3 bananas, sliced
11⁄2 cups raspberries, sliced strawberries or blueberries
Whipped topping, optional
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray six muffin cups with no-stick cooking spray. Combine muffin mix and 1⁄2 cup milk in small bowl; stir just until moistened. Fill muffin cups about 2⁄3 full. Bake for 12 to 17 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 2 to 3 minutes in pan. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
Combine pudding mix, remaining 2 cups milk and sour cream in medium bowl. Beat with whisk for 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes or until soft-set.
Coarsely crumble half a muffin in the bottom of a parfait or 8-ounce glass. Over crumbs, layer 1⁄4 cup pudding, half of one sliced banana and a few berries. Repeat layers. Garnish with whipped topping, if desired.
