Ice Cream Parfaits — Layered, Creamy & Perfectly Balanced

Our ice cream parfaits are designed to be bold, layered, and completely indulgent. Built in clear cups and stacked from bottom to top, each parfait combines creamy ice cream, rich sauces, and generous toppings for a dessert that looks just as good as it tastes.

Every layer is intentional, every bite balanced — and every parfait is made fresh to order.

What Makes Our Ice Cream Parfaits Different

Unlike sundaes, parfaits are all about balance. Each layer is carefully stacked so you get ice cream, sauce, and toppings in every spoonful — not just on top.

They’re smooth, structured, and designed for anyone who loves a lighter, layered dessert without losing any flavor.

Flavors, Sauces & Layered Toppings

Start with your favorite ice cream flavor, then build it up with sauces and toppings layered throughout. From classic combinations to creative mixes, parfaits are all about finding the right balance of creamy, crunchy, and sweet.

With lots of options available in-store, every parfait can be customized to suit your taste.

Built in Layers, Made to Stand Out

Parfaits are all about structure and impact. Instead of piling everything on top, each ingredient is layered throughout the cup — creating a dessert that’s rich, textured, and visually over the top from start to finish.

It’s a treat meant to be seen, scooped, and enjoyed one layer at a time — bold flavors, stacked high, with no shortcuts.

A Modern Take on a Merla-Mae Classic

Parfaits bring a modern twist to the Merla-Mae tradition. Still made with the same care and quality, they offer a fresh way to enjoy ice cream that’s been loved for generations.

Simple, satisfying, and always made fresh.
