Wednesday's Poisonous Parfaits

Wednesday Adams was always fascinated with death and darkness. When it came to desserts, she wanted something that was just as dark and twisted as her own soul. She began experimenting with different ingredients, trying to find the perfect balance of sweetness and morbidity. Finally, she stumbled upon the idea of adding black food coloring to cherry pie filling, giving it a poisonous appearance. She combined it with chocolate pudding and a layer of whipped cream to create a parfait that was as beautiful as it was deadly. From that day forward, every time the Adams family sat down to a spooky meal, Wednesday's Poisonous Parfaits were always on the menu.

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the black cherry pie filling over medium heat until warm. Remove from heat and stir in the black food coloring until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. To assemble the parfaits, begin by adding a layer of black cherry compote to the bottom of each serving dish. Next, add a layer of chocolate pudding, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layering process until the dish is filled to the top.
  5. Garnish with gummy worms or spiders, if desired.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy, if you dare!
