Some days it’s just too hot to cook. Luscious parfaits are pretty to look at and can be as healthy or decadent as you choose. It all depends on what ingredients you choose to layer on. Be sure to use clear plastic or glass cups so your guests can see all the lovely layers. Make your own creation using ingredients like mascarpone, granola, crumbed cookies, whipped cream, fresh berries, yogurt and flavored liqueurs.
