Frequently Asked Questions
Oreo cookies are the absolute classic you can use to whip up this raspberry oreo pudding parfait. It is easy to work with and has a flavor that goes well with almost all berries and fruits.
However, if you’re playing around with the toppings and flavors, you can use graham crackers or Nilla wafers instead of the Oreo cookies. The idea is to use a cookie crumb base, that lends a nice textural difference to the dessert, and also helps the dessert keep its shape.
If you don't have heavy whipping cream handy or don't want to make it homemade, you can use a frozen whipped topping such as Cool Whip or Tru Whip instead. Just make sure you thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before using it in this recipe.
You can also use ready pudding mix and make alternate layers of pudding and whipped cream or simply replace the cream with pudding. Another option is to mix the berries and Nutella in with a vanilla pudding. And of course, no-bake cheesecake is another great alternative.
You can use practically any berry that you can get your hands on. This parfait is actually pretty versatile, so you can go ahead and use your blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, or even any tropical fruits like mangoes and pineapples if you have them. It is all about using fresh produce and sticking to flavors that go well together.
Storing the leftover parfait is easy. If you’ve assembled them in individual glass jars or dessert glasses, just refrigerate them for up to 3 days. Make sure you use a lid or at least cover them with plastic wrap to help preserve the freshness of the dessert.
More Parfait Variations
This parfait has subtle flavors, which give you the chance to experiment with the add-ons of your choice.
- Chopped nuts like pecans and walnuts are great when added to the parfait. You can throw them in between individual layers or have just a sprinkle on the top before you serve.
- If you’re using raspberries, you can also add some chopped mint leaves into one of the layers, or top the dessert with a sprig. The freshness of the mint leaves can really take the parfait to another level.
- Toasted marshmallows, mini chocolate chips or even some cake crumbs can act as great add-ons for this dessert.
Tips to Make the Raspberry Oreo Pudding Parfait
As simple as the recipe may seem, you can never go wrong with a few tips and tricks up your sleeve, to make sure you totally nail the recipe.
- This dessert tastes best when you make it the night before you plan to serve it, and allow it to refrigerate overnight. Not only does this help all the layers set well, but the chilling helps the flavors of the ingredients blend well, and you’ll end up with a lip-smacking parfait you’ll be tempted to make again and again.
- Always use fresh berries for this recipe. Frozen berries can work too, but they’ll start to turn watery once they warmer, and if you’ve already assembled them, they’ll turn the entire parfait runny.
- To make sure the whipping cream is stiff and holds its shape, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for a while before you start whipping. It is also a good idea to use a cold (refigerated) bowl and whisk to whip the cream. You can also use a makeshift ice bath for best results.
- If you’re using strawberries instead of raspberries, remember to cut them into smaller pieces. The idea is to have smaller chunks of the fruit as opposed to big ones.
