Abstract: A parfait cup including a cup, an insert, a catch panel lid and a dome lid such that the parfait cup incorporates at least three individual containers within a single, compact package. The parfait cup maintains each of the contents separately from one another until a consumer desires to combine them. The cup is designed so as to hold a yogurt or other similar contents. The insert is designed to separately hold granola, nuts, cereal or other similar contents. The catch panel lid and dome lid are designed in such a way as to, together, hold fruit or similar contents while simultaneously allowing any juices or excess water exuded from the fruit to be retained in one or more reservoirs in the top of the catch panel lid.
