Special Precautions and Tips:
- If desired, you can substitute chocolate wafer cookies for the vanilla wafers.
- To make the parfaits ahead of time, prepare as directed and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving to soften the layers.
- For a healthier version, you can use low-fat or nonfat yogurt and replace the whipped cream with nonfat yogurt or low-fat cottage cheese.
