A traditional parfait is a layered dessert of fruit and ice cream or frozen custard. It is made in a tall glass so that all the layers are displayed neatly and attractively. A strawberry parfait is an amazing summer treat and makes the perfect end to a summer BBQ. Or, if served with yoghurt instead of ice cream, they can make an amazing breakfast as well. Explore the farmer's market for some fresh strawberries and try out this super easy creation for yourself.

National Strawberry Parfait falls right in the middle of peak strawberry season on June 25th.

We are continuing to research the origins of this national day.
