“I Love You” Parfaits

Like I mentioned in my previous posts, we are all about DESSERTS! We have dessert time together almost every night of the week. It ranges from ice cream, pies, cakes, cookies etc. Tonight, I decided to make my hubby a lovely treat. I named it the “I Love You” Parfait because when you look it and most certainly when you eat it you feel loved by the who made it for you! Hubby definitely enjoyed this treat tonight. Check out my recipe and pics below!
