FAQs

Can I prepare these parfaits ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare them a few hours in advance and keep them refrigerated. For best texture, avoid making them more than 2 days ahead as the cookies may become soggy.

Can I use homemade pudding instead of instant pudding?

Absolutely! Homemade chocolate pudding works well, just make sure it’s thick enough to hold layers and has cooled before assembling.
