About


Parfait is a French word meaning "perfect." A phrase used by many to describe this dish. American parfaits consist of ice cream served with whipped cream, fruit, or other sauces piled in layers in a tall, narrow glass called a "parfait glass." It is often topped with sweet whipped cream and garnished with a maraschino cherry.
