Tips: 

For the morning after - If you want to make your parfaits the day before, try using savoiardi sponge finger biscuits and dipping them into a mixture of fruit juice and a little sweet sherry. Break them into pieces and layer in parfaits instead of crumble, finishing with a cream, then fruit layer. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
