Originally from France, a parfait is a classic dessert typically prepared with a few simple ingredients: cream or yogurt, sugar or syrup, and a selection of fruits or nuts. While traditionally enjoyed as a dessert, this sophisticated treat can also serve as a healthier alternative to ice cream or other cold snacks. It can even be made at home using any ingredients you have on hand.
