Everything about this Greek parfait is absolutely bliss. This is happiness in a glass my friends. True happiness!
I'm not even playing you. The moment I thought of making this recipe, I knew it was going to be good. And I always know when something is good by the way my kids react to it.
Like with these chocolaty S'mores Crescent Rolls or these yummy, yummy Rice Krispies Treats, they almost couldn't wait for me to take the pictures.!
Once I did, they gobbled each and every one of the parfaits like it was candy. I practically had to beg my son to let me try a little. Yes! It was that good.
This simple papaya dessert is wonderfully creamy and it's healthy too!
