Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

A pantry parfait is mostly a question of assembly. A small jam ribbon gives fruit flavor, while coarse wafers supply the contrast usually provided by a baked crumble.

Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI Danbury Commissary List.

Make it

Equipment: Clean food-safe bowl or cup; spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a clean suitable utensil for any chopping.

Ingredients

12 vanilla wafers
2 ready-to-eat vanilla pudding cups, 3.25 oz each
2 tbsp strawberry jam
1 tsp water

Method

Stir the jam with the measured teaspoon of water until loose enough to drizzle.
Break wafers into coarse pieces and reserve a few pieces for the four tops.
Divide pudding, wafer pieces and jam between four small cups in loose layers, keeping some jam visible.
Add the reserved wafer pieces immediately before serving. Refrigerate promptly if delaying service, keeping the crisp topping separate.

The useful detail

Do not crush every wafer to powder: distinct pieces give the pudding a useful texture contrast.

When the store is different

Use grape jelly or raspberry jam.

Serving & handling

Mix moist ingredients close to serving. Keep opened or mixed perishables refrigerated if they are not being eaten promptly. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
