These parfaits are a bit too time-consuming to make. I would recommend making them ahead of time if you're short on time.

These parfaits are a bit too heavy for my taste. I would recommend using less whipped cream.

I used fresh cherries instead of canned cherries and they were so delicious. I highly recommend using fresh cherries if you can.
