ICE CREAM COOKBOOK
Parfait is a French word meaning “perfect.” A phrase used by many to
describe this dish. American parfaits consist of ice cream served with
whipped cream, fruit, or other sauces piled in layers in a tall, narrow
glass called a “parfait glass.” It is often topped with sweet whipped cream
and garnished with a maraschino cherry.

syrup, baby or junior fruit, or marshmallow cream. Here are some good
combinations you can use:

raspberry jam ~-Cherry ice cream and almond-flavored whipped cream
~-Vanilla ice cream with apricot and apple, or pear and pineapple baby or
junior fruit ~-Chocolate ice cream and marshmallow cream.
Any combination of ice cream and sauce that strikes your fancy can be
tried, and cant help but be delicious!
