What is National Chocolate Parfait Day?

s of sweetness, May 1st ushers in National Chocolate Parfait Day.

A delectable chocolate parfait would be a perfect way to end your day. Parfait literally means perfect in French, according to Parfait. There are a few ways to make parfaits. The traditional French-style uses sugar syrup, eggs, and cream. In a tall, clear glass topped with whipped cream, fruit, and liqueurs, the American style layers parfait cream, ice cream, and flavored gelatin. Instead of ice cream and sugary syrups, the parfait has recently taken a healthier turn using yogurt layered with nuts and fresh fruits.

Although the day is focusing on the chocolate parfait, that doesn't mean you can't try other fresh flavors. Fruit and cream go well with chocolate. And don't forget to include ingredients such as pretzels or cookie bits. Your imaginations are only limited by your imaginations.
