Directions:

- Whisk together pudding mix and milk, let set.
- In a 3 quart mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add whipped topping, yogurt and pudding. Mix well.
- To assemble parfaits, layer desired amount of granola in the bottom of a cup or parfait glass, add a generous amount of filling and top with assorted fresh berries. This can also be layered as a dessert in a 9×13 inch pan or a clear, shallow serving bowl.
