These parfaits are so easy to make, and they're always a hit. I love the creamy texture of the mousse and the crunch of the graham cracker crumbs. The cherry sauce is the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, so I made these parfaits with vanilla mousse and strawberry sauce instead. They were still delicious! The vanilla mousse was light and fluffy, and the strawberry sauce was sweet and tart.
