This attractive layered pudding dessert looks especially inviting when served in clear dessert glasses or glass coffee mugs.

Prep: 15 minutes
Refrigerate: 2 hours
Servings: 6

4 cups cold half-and-half or milk, divided
1 package (4-serving size) vanilla flavor instant pudding and pie filling
4 teaspoons instant coffee, divided
1 package (4-serving size) chocolate flavor instant pudding and pie filling
Whipped topping and cocoa powder or grated chocolate, for garnish (optional)

Pour 2 cups of the cold half-and-half into a medium bowl. Add the vanilla flavor pudding mix and 2 teaspoons of the instant coffee. Beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes or until well blended.
Pour the remaining 2 cups of cold half-and-half into another medium bowl. Add the chocolate flavor pudding mix and the remaining 2 teaspoons of instant coffee. Beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes or until well blended.
Remove 2/3 cup of each flavor of pudding from its bowl and whisk together in another medium bowl until well blended. Let all 3 pudding mixtures stand for 5 minutes.
Spoon the chocolate pudding evenly into 6 dessert glasses. Layer with the chocolate-vanilla pudding mixture; then top with the vanilla pudding.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready serve. Garnish with whipped topping and cocoa powder or grated chocolate, if desired

Coffee House Inspiration
The topping on this parfait is sprinkled with grated chocolate, but another garnish that would be delicious is toasted coconut. Toasting the coconut adds extra flavor
