Chocolate Strawberry Parfaits

Chocolate Strawberry Parfaits

4 servings

2 cups cold milk
1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened strawberries, thawed
1 cup heavy whipping cream (or 2 cups whipped topping)
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar (if using whipped topping, omit sugar)

Beat milk and pudding mix until thick and smooth, about 2 minutes; set aside. Drain strawberries (discard the juice or save for another use); place berries in a blender. Cover and process until smooth; set aside. Beat cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in strawberry puree. Divide half of the chocolate pudding among four parfait glasses or bowls. Top with half of the strawberry mixture. Repeat layers. Refrigerate until serving and enjoy!
