layered dessert
Parfait or tiramisu
A layered dessert is any sweet dish built up in visible horizontal strata—cake, cream, fruit, pudding, or other components stacked to create distinct bands.
Trifles, parfaits, and tiramisu are classic examples.
The layering is both structural and aesthetic, meant to be seen through glass or revealed when sliced: She assembled the layered dessert in a clear dish so guests could admire each tier.
