This post today comes from Donkey from Shrek because he says this… “you know what ELSE everybody likes? Parfaits! Have you ever met a person, you say, “Let’s get some parfait,” they say, “Hell no, I don’t like no parfait”? Parfaits are delicious!” So what is a Parfait? Well, a Parfait is a kind of frozen dessert, that dates right back to 1894, and I have been on a search to find 10 of the very best recipes…
