Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Pudding
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1.5 cups whole milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
For the Layers
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers (or gluten-free alternative)
Optional
  • to taste Whipped topping or dairy-free whipped topping for a lighter layer

Method
 

Preparation of Pumpkin Pudding
  1. In a medium saucepan, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat.
  2. Whisk continuously as the mixture warms, making sure there are no lumps. You should see it thicken in about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the milk, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice.
  4. Let it cool for about 10 minutes while you prepare the whipped cream.
Preparation of Whipped Cream
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy peaks form.
  2. The whipped cream should hold its shape but remain soft and creamy.
Assembly of Parfaits
  1. Grab your favorite serving glasses or small bowls.
  2. Start with a generous dollop of pumpkin pudding.
  3. Follow with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, then a layer of whipped cream.
  4. Repeat these layers until your glass is full, finishing with a creamy topping and a final dusting of graham crumbs.
