Ordinary ingredients like graham cracker crumbs and sliced bananas really dress up plain pudding. I like to serve these parfaits for casual dinners as well as for formal dining.

Ingredients

1 package (3-1/2 ounces) instant banana pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
Whipped cream

Prepare pudding according to package directions, using the 2 cups cold milk.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs into each of four parfait or dessert glasses. Top crumbs with 1/4 cup prepared pudding and half of the banana slices. Repeat layers of crumbs, pudding and banana slices.
Garnish each dessert with whipped cream and a cherry if desired.
