Appearances do count, 'cause even the simplest of desserts looks dressed up in the right serving dishes. We prove it with our Coconut Pecan Parfait.

What You'll Need

  • 1 cup flaked coconut, toasted (see Note)
  • 1 (6-serving) package instant vanilla pudding and pie filling, prepared according to package directions
  • 1 cup pecan pieces, toasted (see Note)

What to Do

  1. In a large bowl, combine toasted coconut and the pudding; mix well.
     
  2. Spoon half the mixture evenly into 6 to 8 parfait glasses. Sprinkle half the pecans evenly over the pudding then repeat layers.
     
  3. Cover loosely and chill for at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve.

Note

To toast the coconut and pecans, spread them in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees F. for 7 to 9 minutes, or until golden, stirring halfway through toasting. (Keep an eye on them because they may be ready sooner, and keeping them in the oven for too long will get you over-done or burned coconut and nuts!) Allow to cool completely before using.
