Mint Ice Cream Parfait
This is an extremely decadent dessert, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or a summer party! What I really love about this recipe is the bottom layer of the parfait, it is cake-like, yet creamy like ice cream. It’s a combination of angel food cake and chocolate marshmallow sauce. In order to really wow your guests,…
