How to Make Black Forest Parfait
- In a mixing bowl, blend 8 ounces of cream cheese with 1/4 cup of skim milk on low speed using an electric mixer until completely smooth.
- Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups of skim milk and the pudding mix (check package instructions for specific amount).
- Mix for 1-2 minutes, or until the pudding is smooth and creamy.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of cherry juice until completely dissolved.
- Add the remaining cherry juice (amount will depend on the amount of cherries used, aim for about 1 cup total juice) and the 1 (15 ounce) can of pitted dark sweet cherries to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup (or to taste).
- In individual parfait glasses or dessert dishes, alternately spoon layers of the prepared pudding and the cherry mixture, ending with a layer of pudding.
- Garnish each parfait with 2 fresh cherries and a drizzle of chocolate syrup (optional).
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
