National Strawberry Parfait Day

National Strawberry Parfait Day is a tasty excuse to enjoy strawberry parfait with family and kids. A classic parfait is layered in a glass with ingredients like frozen custard or ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. If you prefer a lighter option, yogurt and muesli can create the same layered effect with a more everyday breakfast feel. However you make it, strawberry parfait is a simple dessert that works for both adults and children.
