I had to make adjustments to prepare it for two people, but it can be easily increased to serve any number. -Merval Harvey, Glennie, Michigan

COCONUT MANDARIN PARFAITS
This is a tropical twist on a recipe I found in a magazine. I used one 11 oz can of mandarin oranges, but you can adjust how much you use to your own tastes. You can also use Vanilla instant pudding, and 1 - 2 tsp of coconut extract. You can easily double the recipe if your dessert glasses are taller.

Steps:
- Pour milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min or until well blended.
- Spoon half of the pudding evenly into 4 dessert glasses, and drop a few mandarin orange slices into the pudding.
- Let pudding set for 5-10 minutes.
- Cover with few mandarin slices, touching the edge of glass.
- Top orange slices with a spoonful of sheredded coconut, rest of pudding, then the rest of coconut.
- There is no set amount for each serving, just divide the layers evenly for four servings. You can also get creative with your ingredients -- like substituting bananas for the oranges. I think two average-sized bananas would work.
Tips:
- Use fresh coconut milk for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to drain the coconut flakes well before adding them to the parfait.
- If you don't have any vanilla pudding mix, you can make your own by whisking together 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Then, whisk in 2 cups milk and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- For a more decadent parfait, use whipped cream instead of yogurt.
- Garnish the parfaits with fresh coconut flakes, toasted coconut, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
