The French have a very special word for “perfect”. It’s “parfait”
—and here’s an American version of that familiar word that really
fits the definition! This good ’n easy new treat, “Fig Crunch Par
fait”, is the perfect answer to a dessert-in-a-hurry for hot weather
enjoyment. It’s made with rich square fig bars, crumbled into tasty
bits and layered into chilled vanilla pudding, with orange juice
added for an extra flavor accent. The result is a dessert that looks
just as delightful as it tastes. You can make it in minutes, this
very easy way;
Fig Crunch Parfait
1/2 package (9 or 10) Sunshine 2 tablespoons orange juice
Fig Bars 14 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 package vanilla pudding mix Slivers of 1 maraschino cherry
Crumble fig bars into a bowl. Prepare pudding mix as package
directs. Cool about 10 minutes. Fill 4 to 6 parfait glasses with alter
nate layers of pudding and crumbled fig bars, and a drizzle of orange
juice. Chill. Serve, topped with whipped cream and a sliver of
m.''.raschino cherry. Makes 4 to 6 parfaits.
