  2. 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.
