parfaits

Yogurt cup towers

Parfaits are layered desserts served in tall glasses, typically alternating ice cream, fruit, syrup, and whipped cream.

The French original layers ice cream with fruit sauce; the American version often features yogurt with granola and berries: She grabbed a yogurt parfait for breakfast.

The visual appeal comes from the distinct strata visible through the glass.
