Pistachio Parfait

Let’s not be dissemble, we all love sweet. With tea or coffee as a snack or just pleasure. Admit it, we often say the phrase – “I want something tasty,” and it just means tasty dessert.

Today I will tell you about the parfait. We cooked it together with Anya and Vika from confectionery Make My Cake. They told me all the secrets and mysteries of this ancient, tender and of course, delicious dessert.

Parfait from the French parfait means beautiful and immaculate. I think these two words is the best describe of this dessert. That dish of French cuisine, famous to the world since 1894.
