Share
Mark your calendars for June 25th — it's National Strawberry Parfait Day, and we’re stacking up something sweet to celebrate! Whether you’re planning a casual brunch, a summery dessert table, or just looking for an excuse to treat yourself (as if you needed one), this light and luscious dessert is the perfect way to honor the day.
From French origins to modern twists, parfaits have come a long way, and the strawberry version is a crowd-pleasing favorite. With layers of juicy strawberries, creamy yogurt or whipped cream, and crunchy granola or cookie crumbs, this classic treat is equal parts elegant and easy.
📖 What’s a Parfait, Anyway?
The word parfait means “perfect” in French — and when it comes to this delightful dessert, we couldn’t agree more. Traditionally served in tall glasses, parfaits are known for their gorgeous layers and a perfect balance of textures: sweet fruit, creamy base, and a little crunch to keep things interesting.
Over time, parfaits have evolved into everything from healthy breakfast bowls to decadent dessert jars — and the strawberry parfait has remained the MVP of them all.
