    Oh, the Easter Peeps. They are marshmallow and colorful and kind of just says spring, don't you think? It's so fun to make a Peeps dessert.

    The kids will like this fun dessert for an Easter gathering or party. A Peeps Parfait is so easy to make and make ahead for easy prep. It only has a few ingredients, too!

    Ingredients

    • angel food cake
    • strawberry pudding
    • whipping cream
    • powdered sugar
    • Peeps (of various colors)
    • Easter sprinkles

    The ingredients couldn't be easier. I made a box angel food cake mix but you could make an angel food cake homemade or even buy one from the store.

    For the strawberry pudding, Sonic has a strawberry pudding mix that is perfect for this! If you can't find Sonic strawberry pudding mix, you can use regular strawberry pudding.

    I used whipping cream flavored with powdered sugar as I liked the texture of real whipping cream with this dessert. However, Cool Whip would certainly work as well.

    Instructions

    First, if you are making your angel food cake, whether from scratch or a box mix, you will want to make that so it can have time to cool.

    Making the angel food cake from a box mix only requires adding water so the process is easy. After following the directions on the back, don't forget to turn it over to let it cool. Fitz Root Beer bottle worked well. (LOVE Fitz's in St. Louis!)

    Keep those empty root beer bottles for angel food cake.

    While the cake is cooling (which will take about 1 ½-2 hours for best results), mix together the pudding mix.

    Then it can sit in the refrigerator to thicken up for the parfait. You can also make up the whipping cream.

    Whipping cream secrets

    The secrets of the whipping cream are few but important. To just use a bottle of whipping cream, you may find the cream, well, less than sweet.

    That is okay, of course. However, if you want a little sweetness to your cream, you may want to add powdered sugar.

    The whipping cream can be poured directly into a Kitchen Aid stand mixer or you can use a hand held mixer, though you will be there for a while. Mix on medium speed until the cream forms soft peaks.

    Then, add in ½ cup of powdered sugar. Mix and the mixture will get thick.

    Then, if the cake needs to be cooled a little more, you can place it in the fridge while you wait. If not, you can add some purple food coloring.

    Putting the Peeps Parfait together

    Now, it is just time to layer.

    Take the angel food cake and cut it into small pieces. Then layer the cake, pudding, whipping cream, repeating layers until you get to the top of the cups you are using.

    The cups can be any size your particular party needs, I used 12 oz cups for this recipe.

    Make sure the last ingredient you add is the whipping cream, then add the Peep marshmallow on top and sprinkles.

    Refrigerate

    I recommend refrigerating the Peeps parfait for at least 1 hour but no more than 8 before serving.

    You want the flavors to blend, but not get mad at each other. If there are any leftovers, I would keep them for 24-36 hours. I wouldn't go much more than that. You don't want the angel food cake to get too soggy.

    Pin for later!
