With a few easy ingredients you may already have on hand, this parfait is great for a sweet snack or dessert.

Ingredients

2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt
2 large bananas, sliced
1 cup chocolate-flavored cereal
4 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

Directions

Before you begin: Wash your hands.

  1. Layer 2 tablespoons of yogurt into the bottom of four 8-ounce clear glasses.
  2. Top yogurt with 2 tablespoons of sliced bananas and 1 tablespoon of chocolate-flavored cereal.
  3. Repeat layers until yogurt, bananas and cereals are used.
  4. Drizzle each parfait with 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk. Serve immediately.

Cooking Tip

  • This parfait goes great with dulce de leche instead of sweetened condensed milk. If you don't have dulce de leche, you can make it at home! Submerge a can of sweetened condensed milk (label removed) into boiling water and let it simmer for 2 hours. Make sure the can is covered with water at all times while it simmers and let it cool completely before you open it.
