A parfait is a rich cold dessert that draws its origin from France.

It usually has a rich pâté and a very smooth consistency. 

Parfaits are made by boiling cream, egg, sugar and syrup to create a custard-like puree.

However, the recipe can be customized and other things added to enhance the richness of the dessert and appease ones taste buds. 

This sweet dessert is mouth-watering delicious no wonder its French name appropriately translates to "perfect."
