Parfait pronounced as "Parfae" in French means Perfect, and there is no doubt how this dish got that name. It is a perfect blend of its ingredients which touches all senses of your taste buds, sweet, sour, crunchy, crispy, nutty... And good thing is we can have it guilt free if made with right ingredients and proposition.
Parfait is such a flexible dish where you can master the ingredients yourself and you won't go wrong about it. Its easy and a fulfilling dessert which everyone would love and you can save your efforts for your other courses in meal, if this is planned for dessert :)
Traditionally Parfait is made with a custard cream as per wiki, but all the later ones and YouTube videos shows the Greek Yogurt, fruity layers, the healthy one. To make it more healthy, I added honey as substitute to sugar.
So you guys know, weekends are my time to pamper myself, and while pampering I don't want myself to go overboard and over do and put on my pounds. Parfait saved my life by making sure, I am adding on healthy calories while having a dessert and would never have to look back and regret.
Usually I lag behind posting my recipes as after all the efforts, I won't get time for writing up, but today it is a difference, that I am posting most of the dishes prepared today itself. The reason being, my parfait and some other recipes has stolen heart of many of my friends and I am getting requests from them to put up the recipe. One of my sweethearts is very much looking forward for this recipe and I cannot let her down and took my note and pen writing it down. Don't be fooled by my usage note and pen, it is just the keyboard and blogspot these days. I sometimes wonder the note and pen has become so alien to me, that I hesitate when my mom asks me to jot down her grocery list. Ahh, Technology setbacks.
I am sure, they won't be that keen to listen to all my stories, but the eyes will be going down straight to the preparation steps. Just kidding :P I know my friends takes that effort to appreciate every intricacy of it :)
So where are my critics, buckle your seat belts and let me know how I am doing. Point out if there is rubbish and keep motivating and help improving myself :)
