Step 1

In a bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat milk until bubbles form around the edge.

Step 3

Pour sugar mixture into hot milk, a little at a time, stirring to dissolve. Continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Do not boil.

Step 4

Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and butter. Divide pudding into thirds and tint each portion with a different food coloring. Color one pink, one green, and one yellow or orange.

Step 5

Divide evenly among 4 to six parfait glasses, layering each pudding color. Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 6

Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, and mini marshmallows, if desired.
