This dessert right here…all I can say is…Destination Greatness! I have to tell you all the truth about this dessert. I dreamed about the ingredients a week before I attempted to make it. I honestly didn’t think it would come out well, but I gave it a try anyway. I am glad that I did. The best description I can give you about this dessert is…imagine a sinful version of a parfait. Relate this dessert to Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away“! The graham crackers is the guitar blaring in the intro, the whipped cream is the melody and strawberry sauce is Lenny singing “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah”.
