How to Make Coconut Mandarin Parfaits
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk and 1 (3.4 ounce) package of instant vanilla pudding mix for 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy.
- Evenly spoon half of the pudding mixture into four dessert glasses.
- Top the pudding with several slices of 1 (11 ounce) can of mandarin oranges, arranging them attractively around the edges of the glass.
- Let the pudding set for 5-10 minutes to slightly thicken.
- Add another layer of mandarin orange slices, creating a visually appealing layer that touches the edges of the glass.
- Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup of shredded sweetened coconut.
- Top with the remaining pudding mixture.
- Finish with a final layer of shredded coconut.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the parfait to fully chill.
- For a variation, substitute two medium-sized bananas for the mandarin oranges, sliced into rounds.
