Recipe Notes

 

Ingredient swaps you can make:

  • Boxed pudding mix for homemade pudding 
  • Vanilla Pudding for Lemon Pudding
  • Pound Cake for Angel Food Cake or Butter Cake

Helpful Tips and Notes:

  • Allow the compote to cool completely before assembling the parfaits. Adding the compote while it is still warm can melt the pudding. 
  • I made these these in a shot glass as a shooter dessert but you could easily serve these in a small bowl, juice glass or even a small mason jar. .
  • Serving this at a party? Buy disposable shot glasses from the dollar store for easy prep and clean up so you spend less time in the kitchen and more time with your guests.  
  • Below nutritional information applies only to blueberry compote. As always nutritional information is estimated.
