An almond-scented pudding layered with blackberries and blackberry preserves makes a nice finale.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-fruit blackberry spread
2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of salt
2 1/4 cups low-fat (1 %) milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups (about) frozen blackberries, thawed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk blackberry spread, 1 tablespoon amaretto and 1 teaspoon vanilla in small bowl until smooth.

    Step 2

    Whisk sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Gradually whisk in milk. Whisk in egg. Add butter. Whisk over medium heat until mixture comes to boil and thickens, about 6 minutes. Boil 1 minute longer, whisking constantly. Remove from heat. Whisk in almond extract, 1 tablespoon amaretto and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

    Step 3

    Spoon 1 teaspoon blackberry spread mixture into bottom of each four 1-cup stemmed glasses. Top each with 4 blackberries, then with about 3 tablespoons hot pudding. Repeat layering twice more. Divide any remaining blackberries among glasses. Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours. (Blackberry parfaits can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
