Pumpkin Pie Parfait
This pumpkin pie parfait will be the perfect addition to your fall or holiday meal. It’s light, fluffy, not too sweet and delicious!
This recipe was adapted from Bell of the Kitchen – you can find her original recipe here. As a recipe developer, I always make sure to credit where I got my inspiration from.
What ingredients do I need to make a pumpkin parfait?
To make a basic pumpkin parfait, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Pumpkin purée (unsweetened or canned)
- Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
- Sweetener (like maple syrup, honey, or stevia)
- Pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- Granola or crushed graham crackers for layering
- Optional toppings like whipped cream, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
How can I make a pumpkin layer taste creamy and flavorful?
To make the pumpkin layer creamy, mix pumpkin purée with Greek yogurt or whipped cream, then add a sweetener like maple syrup or honey. Don’t forget to spice it up with pumpkin pie spice or your favorite cinnamon blend to enhance the flavor.
What is the best way to layer a pumpkin parfait?
Start with a layer of yogurt or the pumpkin mixture at the bottom, followed by granola or crushed graham crackers for texture. Alternate layers of the pumpkin mixture and yogurt, finishing with crunchy toppings like granola or nuts. You can also drizzle some extra maple syrup or add whipped cream on top for an indulgent finish.
The best part about this dessert is that it is ready in less than 10 minutes – just until the pudding thickens up. Hannah and I were thinking that you could morph this into a breakfast by substituting Greek yogurt for the whipped cream. Or leave the whipped cream! Totally up to you.
