Parfait is either of two types of dessert. In France, where the dish
originated, parfait is made by boiling cream, egg, sugar and syrup to
create a custard-like or meringue-like puree which is then frozen. The
American version consists of layers differentiated by the inclusion of
such ingredients as granola, nuts, yogurt and liqueurs, topped off with
fruits or whipped cream. French parfait is usually served in thick,
decorated slices on a plate. American parfait is typically served in
tall glassware together with a long spoon known as a parfait spoon. The
classical parfait glass is stemware, with a short stem and a tall
slender bowl, often tapered towards the bottom, also used for serving
milkshakes. In South Asia (particularly Bangladesh), parfaits are made
in bowl containers, rather than tall glasses.
