I will own up to my cooking mistakes. I have had Christmas cookies not turn out. I could hide the evidence in the trash, or I could use them in a parfait. I choose a parfait. Now, pistachio pudding would add a nice green color, and pistachio nuts would add crunch. All layered nicely with some whipped topping. I hope you like it.
