OREO MANGO YOGURT PARFAIT

Mango season is still upon us. And what better way to celebrate this delicious fruit than making a mango parfait with it. I showed you how to cut mango cubes so now you have the best way of cutting mangoes. No more hustle about how to cut your mango. Today I'm making a yummy parfait that includes my favorite biscuits, Oreo... I could eat these little munchkins all day everyday. Anyway parfaits are simple desserts that you can whip up on the go and require very few ingredients, thus my love for them. You can make all sorts of parfaits, add any fruits, biscuits, granola and even cereals.The choices are endless, just layer your favorite combinations and you have yourself a winning combination of the best parfait in the world. Parfait from French meaning "perfect") refers to two types of frozen dessert; in France, where the dish originated, parfait is made by boiling cream, egg, sugar and syrup to create a custard-like puree which is not necessarily served in a parfait glass. The American version includes more ingredients like granola, nuts, yogurt, liqueurs and gelatin desserts made in combination with a topping of fruits or whipped cream that are layered and served in a tall glass. Recent trends introduced parfaits made by layering yogurt with granola, nuts or fresh fruits, such as peaches, strawberries, or blueberries. The oldest known recipe dates back to 1894. As you can see Parfaits have been since the beginning of time and will continue to be beyond the ages, why not indulge in this dessert and enjoy some history as well? Cheers to many more Parfaits!!!
