Have you ever eaten something as good as a parfait? If you have, then practically speaking, you have eaten something perfect, literally. Parfait is the French word for “perfect,” so it’s probably safe to assume that the people who came up with the idea for this delectable dessert made sure its name lives up to the taste.
Even if its origins can be traced back to France, there’s no denying that parfaits are popular desserts enjoyed all over the world, especially in Japan, where parfaits are growing in popularity. The Japanese love layering their parfaits with castella cakes, anko (red bean), kuromitsu (similar to molasses), and seasonal fruits.
Modern parfaits are more eclectic compared to the traditional French version of boiling egg yolks, sugar, and whipped cream to make a custard, which is often served on decorative plates. Parfaits in America are usually served in glasses, with layers made up of various ingredients, including yogurt, granola, walnuts, blueberries, and strawberries, just to name a few. If there’s one version we’re crazy about, it’s strawberry parfaits, so it just makes sense to have this absolutely wonderful dessert in our minds this National Strawberry Parfait Day.

Of course, when something as pretty as parfait is prepared, you can’t help but share it on social media, right?
