Every year when strawberries are in season, I make this layered confection. The combination of almond and strawberries makes this dish refreshing and delicious!
Italian Parfait
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 c. milk
¼ tsp almond extract
2 pints strawberries, stemmed and sliced
2 tbsp sugar
1 ½ c crushed vanilla wafers
In a medium bowl, prepare the pudding mix with milk as package directs. Mix in the almond extract; cover and refrigerate. Sweeten strawberries with sugar; spoon about 3 tbsp sweetened berries into each of six stemmed glasses. Layer each with 3 tbsp cookie crumbs and 1/3 c pudding. Top each glass with remaining strawberries and crumbs diving equally. Makes 4 servings.
