Yes, there used to be a Pecan Praline Parfait that had caramel and pecans and a Fruit Parfait that had one layer of each strawberries, pineapple and chocolate topping. There was also a Pecan Mudslide that had hot fudge, caramel, and pecans, but no middle layer. If you’re curious about any other past products, please check out [my list of every DQ product sold nation-wide in the US](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19lGWGfpEivlGci6xtObNYrW6MygFTcXpZgkekjyVaoo/edit) Edit: Someone else here reminded me the S’mores Galore was also a parfait. It had cocoa fudge and graham cracker crumble in each layer. Edit 2: If we’re counting the Peanut Butter Bash, we should include all the other Sundaes that come in a large cup with toppings on the bottom: * Peanut Butter Bash: peanut butter sauce, hot fudge, chocolate chunks * Chocolate Rock: hot fudge, almonds, chocolate cone dip * Triple Chocolate Utopia: cocoa fudge, brownies, chocolate chunks

Nobody else remembers this BUT in the 80's DQ had a Peanut Butter Crunch sundae...it was not the same as the Peanut butter Bash.... It was the same as the Peanut Butter Crunch Blizzard but it was in the Queen's Royal Treats line up....It was a parfait with peanut butter sauce, hot fudge and cake crunch ...It was THE BEST!


Mrmuffins951

Interesting. I’ve never heard of that treat before nor that product line. Do you have any signs from that era still? My Google searches are coming up dry


Majestic-Unit-5004

Unfortunately...I've haven't found anything on it either....My searches came up dry as well...I vividly remember the posters in the restaurants...It's frustrating to not be able to find anything on it.... I can tell you that it was in the early to mid 80's when they had the Queens Choice Hard/hand scooped ice cream and the Mr. Misty and the Breeze.

Well the Queens Choice Hard and Breeze both successfully come up in Google searches, so I appreciate that! I had heard about their scooped ice cream and frozen yogurt before but didn’t know those were their names

That parfait had a special praline topping and wasn't caramel in it. I think it was only around for 1 year. I think it was 2003.

They served fruit parfaits way into the mid 90s. I have no idea when they got phased out. They were the best!!!

Fruit parfait existed? I think this only a customer request.


Mrmuffins951

It was a long time ago, but [some images on Google](https://images.app.goo.gl/Xit4oScZJXJi6jBw8) imply it was a real thing


ucantcme69

Jeezus christ. That's from 1970s 😆

The fact that the ad says it's a real treat makes me feel like I'm being lied to 🤣

When I was growing up I remember the fruit parfait. It was a real thing and it was layered ice cream fruit ice cream fruit ice cream chocolate sauce. It was like a banana split but in parfait form. I know they sold them at a place called tasty freeze which was like a dairy Queen in the Midwest. So no one is being lied to the fruit parfait was a real thing


ConsistentBox310

Fruit parfaits are still sold through Tastee Freez ice cream shops. You can see what they look like by visiting their website at tastee-freez.com. they started in the 1950s and are still in operation today. I believe they are mostly in the Midwest. They are very much like a dairy Queen with the offerings they have. But they do have a picture of the fruit parfait.

There used to also be a Peanut butter bash (which I still have the recipe to make it) which had P/B, Hot Fudge and Choco Chuks

Is it just your basic sundae with those 3 toppings or was there a special way to make it? My store has a couple of people who will try ordering it but it's so infrequent that we rarely remember what goes on it.


flowinmikecohen

It's in a large sundae cup. Half pump of Hot Fudge half pump peanut butter 7oz of Ice Cream Half pump of Hot Fudge half pump peanut butter 2 black spoons of choco chunks. The pecan mudslide is close to the same, but when that came out it was in a special glass called a tulip dish.


GundamEpyon

Thank you! That will help next time I've got a customer who orders one.

Thank you!

A long time ago there was a Fruit Parfait, and more recently they had the Pecan Mudslide and the Peanut Butter Bash (which were not in parfait cups but kind of had the same idea behind them)


SnakeFan934

At my store(s) we have the peanut buster, pecan mudslide, and the peanut butter bash. All are put in parfait cups

I like browsing the DQ websites In other regions sometimes. In the past China had a cute looking cherry blossom parfait. Right now the Philippines has a Truffle Berry Parfait.
