Parfaits are such an easy and impressive dessert to throw together with hardly any preparation involved at all. I’m planning on making (tinned) peach, yoghurt and almond parfaits tonight for dessert but I’m going to have to leave it until the last minute for ‘the fussy one’ . She’ll probably just have ice cream in a parfait glass. I have compiled 9 easy parfait desserts to make at home.
Parfaits are just a matter of pureeing or chopping whatever fruit you have on hand and layering it with plain or flavoured whipped http://www.naturalmedicine.com/members/paulsen/profile/ cream, custard, marscapone, ricotta, mousse, yoghurt, creme fraiche or other dairy product. Maybe adding a crunchy layer of crumbled biscuits, nuts, granola or crumbled cake and/or topping with a fruit syrup, more fresh fruit or nuts. You can make it full or low fat. You’re only limited by your imagination. Here’s a few other combinations to try.

I love parfaits! They feel so fancy, and yet so retro.
Hi my precious friend….Well I'm back from our incredible cruise to Alaska and have been exhausted!! Have to take a 'vacation' from my vacation (Big Smile). A wonderful couple from Austrailia sat at our dining table every night. Just lovely people. I think they were from Brisbane. I told them about you as my fabulous blogging friend!! You Aussies are all absolutely amazing!
Have not even posted. But I have to do the wedding tables for a friend late this afternoon and have been SO busy with family etc etc that I haven't really had time. I hope to get to it this week!
Love your parfaits. They all look so tempting. Glad to be back. I've missed you!

Oh Anne you know these are right up my alley in so many ways.
So much deliciousness on one page!!
I love parfaits and often make granola ones when we have brunches at our home. I like the sound of that rice pudding one!
Hope you are well. I am so loving your bloggy look!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
PS Happy Sunday-isn't this weather divine!
I love a breakfast parfait…I can't think about Donkey from Shrek talking about parfait though. "You gotta love parfait. Everyone love parfait, Shrek."
I might go assemble some for my daughters breakfast tomorrow.
What a fun post! I love all the colors and flavors!
YUM! I'm super hungry after reading this post. Can't wait to try some of these out. Megan
I would love if you could come over and make one of each of these! Please check out my Raspberry Chocolate Cookies! Have a great Day!
I think I would like them all but the mixed berry or the lemon strawberry would probably be my favorite!
