Come to mama, little chocolate sandwich cookie
Let me crumble you into my glass
I’ll spoon some silky, chocolate pudding over you
And after, a smooth cloud of creamy, chocolate fluffiness
I’ll then sprinkle in a bit more of you, little chocolate sandwich cookie
And layer more velvety goodness over top
Until my entire glass has been filled to the brim
With dark chocolate richness, and your sweet, crumbled cookie-ness
Taste what’s good and pass it on.

Rich, Chocolaty Cookies N’ Cream Parfaits
(Makes about 6 servings in 6 ounce glasses, or 4 servings in 10 ounce glasses)
Ingredients:
16 fl oz whipping cream, cold
2 tablespoons sugar
2 (16 ounce) tubs all natural Belgian chocolate pudding*, divided use
24 all natural chocolate-vanilla sandwich cookies, crushed into chunky consistency
1 (1ounce) square semi-sweet chocolate, to shave for garnish
Preparation:
-In the bowl of a mixer (or using a hand-held), add the cold cream and begin whipping; once thickened slightly, sprinkle in the sugar and finish whipping just until stiff peaks form; set aside for a moment.
-In medium-large bowl, add 2 cups of the chocolate pudding (reserving the remaining pudding) and begin adding the whipped cream to it in several increments, gently folding in to keep a fluffy and light consistency, as this is the “chocolate mousse” part of the dessert; once all whipped cream is incorporated, set aside and prepare glasses.
To Assemble (for 6 servings in 6 ounce glasses):
-Begin by adding equal amounts of the crushed cookies to the bottom of each glass (about 3 tablespoons), next a layer of chocolate pudding (about 3 tablespoons), and next a layer of the “chocolate mousse” (about 3 tablespoons); repeat this process again for each glass, with another layering of crushed cookies, then the pudding, then the “chocolate mousse”, finally finishing with a final sprinkling of crushed cookies and a decorative dollop of “chocolate mousse”; garnish by shaving a little of the semi-sweet chocolate square with a vegetable peeler over the tops of each glass; refrigerate until ready to serve, or serve immediately.
To Assemble (for 4 servings in 10 ounce glasses):
-Follow assembly instructions above only increase the quantity of each layer to about 5 tablespoons in order to fill each glass.

I am not big into sweets but would enjoy this. Layers of goodness. It would induce a pleasurable sugar coma.
Be well
A.B.
Do you suppose you could make this in a trifle bowl? How would the mousse layer stand up?
thecozyapron
Hi A.B., thanks for your question, as it's a really good one. As gorgeous as this recipe would look in a trifle bowl, you most likely wouldn't get your desired results come plating time. This recipe is specifically made for individual serving glasses where its layers are contained, and most likely wouldn't hold its shape very well on a plate.
Redpenny
I think this would do fine in a Trifle bowl. I make many different kinds of trifles and they all look lovely till the 1st serving! Nobody cares after that they just want it on their dish!
The Cozy Apron
Funny and true! 😉

Oh my!! This looks killer!
Theresa
Can you use a different type of pudding, like something more common? (Jello brand, etc.)
thecozyapron
Hi Theresa, yes, feel free to use your preferred brand of chocolate pudding.

Tasted great, but presentation wise, what do you suggest to get the mixture and pudding in the cups? My layers were kind of blotched on the side of the interior of the cups. Thanks!
thecozyapron
Thanks for coming by to comment and ask a really great question. Yes, it can be a little tricky getting the layers into the cup/glass; to be honest, mine are never really "prefect", and a good thing about parfait desserts is that they're pretty forgiving when it comes to presentation, because it's all about the delicious layers, even if a bit messy. I try to just have as steady of a hand as possible, and drop smaller spoonfuls of each layer's quantity aiming towards the center of the glass, then I can carefully spread it out gently. If the sides get a little messed up, I carefully try to wipe them a bit with a clean paper towel, but I don't go too crazy with it. Hope that helps!
Natalie
Perhaps use a frosting bag to pipe it in.
thecozyapron
Natalie, brilliant.
Mandi
Hello,
I was just reading your comment and here is a way to be able to make this look incredible. Take a gallon size ziplock bag or whatever storage bag you use. put the mousse in a bag and do the same with the pudding in a seperate bag. Now on a corner of the bottom of the bag cut a corner out just big enough that you are able to fit into the dessert cup that you can squeeze the bag and the stuff comes out. Squeeze the pudding in the cup in the amount you think is right. Then do the same with the mousse. keep doing that with the layers in the cups. It will make it less of a mess and more presentable for showing off! Hope this tip helps

I am a HUGE cookies and cream fan, so needless to say, you have me drooling looking at your pictures. VERY jealous! You are my idol.
Courtney @ Bake.Eat.Repeat.
Now this is a show stopping dessert! And so simple too. Thanks for sharing!
Lisa Montalva
Come to mama is right. I found this pic on pinterest, but no recipe. I have been searching for 30 minutes, :). Cant wait to make it. I am a chocolate freak. I usually dont write many chocolate recipes, because I would eat them before I would get to take a picture. Thank you for this one. Keep up the good work. Love your site. Lisa Montalva aka The Gourmet Mom

Hi Lisa, so glad you found the recipe, and I hope you enjoy it!

Going to buy the stuff now to try it! I'll let you know how it goes!!
Jaree
Mine turned out perfect! Yumm!!
The Cozy Apron
Yeay, Jaree! Thanks for coming back to let me know how it turned out for you.
jill
I just bought the ingredients and ate so many
cookies i have to buy another bag to make the dessert!
I'm making them for a bake and plan to use the
"Crystal cut" plastic cups.
Thanks for this great and easy recipe!
The Cozy Apron
Your comment made me laugh, Jill! And if you think the cookies alone are hard to stop eating, just wait until you taste the actual finished dessert; let me just say you'd better plan on making extra.
Bev
Would this recipe work if you made it a day ahead? Looks fabulously delicious!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Bev, a day ahead would be just fine - if you leave some room at the top of your glass, you could even put a little plastic wrap over just to keep any fridge smells from infiltrating.
shireen.
i just tried it today.....GONE IN SECONDS. WE REALLY LOVED IT THANK YOU <3
The Cozy Apron
My pleasure, Shireen!
Zola
me and my mom r going to make this tonight i looks so good and hope it tastes good too!!!
mary welborn
This looks so yummy.
Kristi @ My San Francisco Kitchen
All I can say is WOW! This looks incredible!!!! Beautiful photography as well 🙂
The Cozy Apron
Thanks, Kristi.
Shelly
This is really yummy and fun to make. I would suggest only using th pudding from trader Joe's that the recipe suggests. It has a firmer consistency and is really rich. Serve in small portions or it is just too rich. Yum!
Nicole
Hi I found this pic on Facebook and found the recipe here. Problem is I am from Australia and we don't have the same brands as you in everything. Would any chocolate pudding mix work or should I look for a certain ingredient in the mix pack?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Nicole, I would say that any chocolate pudding mix would work once prepared, but if you can find an already prepared chocolate pudding that is nice and creamy(perhaps in the refrigerated section of your grocery store), then that'd be ideal. Basically, you want a rich, creamy and deep chocolatey pudding; one that you'd enjoy eating would be just perfect!
Kelie
Hi Nicole,
I'm also from Australia and I have used the packet mousse from woolies (the one you add milk too and set in fridge) It works perfect!

Sandi
Do you have any idea of the calories, or shouldn't we ask?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Sandi! I love your question - and can I be honest with you? I really don't know how many calories there are in this dessert; I personally just like to pretend calories don't exist for this one.
Beth
So glad to actually find this recipe. My 9 year old found it on Pinterest but never got to the actual recipe through there. As part of homeschooling science (with math) he is given directions to pick a recipe, check for ingredients, make a list of what is missing estimating the cost of each item, go shopping (with Mom of course) for the items using his estimated budget, then come home and make it (on his own - within safety limits). So far his chocolate chip cookies came out great, but this will be far better! And what he really wanted to make, so thank you.
The Cozy Apron
Beth, that is so great - thanks for sharing that with me! I'm thrilled that you've found the recipe; please come back to share your son's experience if you get the chance, as I'd love to hear about it!

Thank you!!!! I found one of your pictures on facebook when a friend tagged me. I am thrilled to have found your recipe. I am going to share it on my business page with link back to you. CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THESE!!!!
The Cozy Apron
I'm glad you've found it too, Jennine! Hope you enjoy these treats, and thank you for your desire to share them!
Codie Sprague
This looks really good so I am deciding to try to make it for my youth group I'm in but the only problem is..... I don't have whipping cream and I was wondering if there was a substitute I could use or if there is a really easy way to make whipping cream I need to know before July 25, 2014 thank-you hope to hear from you soon!!!!!! Old Paths Baptist Church
The Cozy Apron
Hi Codie! If you need to substitute, you can use whipped topping, like Cool Whip; but if you just buy whipping cream in the dairy section of the grocery store (usually next to the half & half), then just follow the directions in the recipe to make your own whipped cream. Hope that helps!
Emily Rodriguez
Hi, I just wanted to ask you a question, how did you come up with this delicious dessert it looks quite mouth watering .
The Cozy Apron
Hey Emily, thanks so much! That's a tough question to answer, but the easiest way is to say that I try to let my appetite guide me, lol! I was craving something chocolatey and decadent when I thought this one up, and tried to imagine the textures that I was looking for in it, and just went from there. 🙂
Sandra Bullock
What is the caramel looking substance?
The Cozy Apron
Hi there! No caramel in this recipe—perhaps the chocolate pudding looks a little like that? 🙂
shay

Hi Shay, congratulations to your son on his barmitzva! I hope you all enjoy these sweet and chocolatey treats!
