Kentucky Bourbon Parfaits

Our Kentucky Bourbon Parfait is a grown-ups-only treat, but if the little ones are home, be sure to make them a special kid-friendly batch without the bourbon so they can join in the tasty fun!

Serves: 6

Preparation Time: 10 min

Chilling Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 1 (4-serving size) package instant chocolate pudding and pie filling
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon (see Note)
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
• 2 1/2 cups coarsely crushed pecan sandies cookies
• 1 tablespoon mini semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine pudding mix, milk, and bourbon; whisk until thickened and set aside.
    
2. In a medium bowl, combine whipped topping and pecans. Place half of crushed cookies evenly into 6 parfait glasses or dessert dishes. Layer half of pudding mixture equally over crushed cookies then top with half of whipped topping mixture. Repeat layers, then sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Notes

If you'd rather make this without bourbon, just add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract instead.
