Today, May 1, 2014, is National Chocolate Parfait Day. Parfait (from French meaning "perfect") is a kind of frozen dessert, that dates to 1894. In The United States, parfait refers to either the traditional French-style dessert or to a popular variant, the American parfait, made by layering parfait cream, ice cream, and/or flavored gelatins in a tall, clear glass, and topping the creation with whipped cream, fresh or canned fruit, and/or liqueurs.
