Because here is the easiest dessert on the planet. Want a eye-pleasing dessert? Check. Want a super easy reicpe with not many dishes? Check. And of course, one that will have people smacking their lips and think you belong on the Martha Stewart show or maybe even have your own show? Check. This was my first time making parfaits and I can now say I am their #1 fan. Maybe they should start a baseball team...the Pasadena Parfaits??
These layers have me all excited!
