This Berries & Cream Parfait from "Top Chef" pastry chef Yigit Pura is layered with store-bought angel food cake, fresh berries + a whipped cream folded into pastry cream. Together, pastry cream + whipped cream make "diplomat" cream, which is a sturdy, but still lightweight, cream you can prep ahead of time without it falling flat or turning watery.

Optional add-in: In the video above, Yigit adds 1 tablespoon of orange flower water to the pastry cream before folding into the whipped cream for added citrus essence, but just orange zest does the trick too.
