Nice!!!
Thank you Elaine. 🙂 🙂
I’ve made a very similar recipe in the past and it is REALLY good!! I think our parfait will have to contain sugar free, non-fat, Greek yogurt instead of that gorgeous pastry cream, but oh how I love pastry cream!!! 🙂
Oh really, yeah this pastry cream is pretty darn good. Especially in my parents eyes. LOL Yes, Greek yogurt is the healthier route, but I swear this recipe is a must try. 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and enjoying.
Looks fantastic!!!
Thank you much Diana. Enjoy your evening. 🙂
I;m Australian. Our fathers day is some time away. We’ve only just had mothers’ day.
Oh, well have a wonderful Father’s Day. I would love to travel over there one day. 🙂
This looks really good. Your father’s day must be much sooner than ours – or are you planning ahead for September?
