Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin purée. This will give your parfaits the best flavor. You can make your own pumpkin purée by roasting a pumpkin and then puréeing it in a food processor. Canned pumpkin purée is also an option, but be sure to choose a brand that is unsweetened.
- Make sure your gingersnaps are fresh and crisp. Stale gingersnaps will not hold up well in the parfaits. If you don't have any fresh gingersnaps, you can make your own by following a recipe online.
- Don't over-whip the whipped cream. Over-whipped whipped cream will be grainy and not as light and fluffy. Whip the cream until it is just stiff enough to hold its shape.
- Assemble the parfaits just before serving. This will prevent the cookies from getting soggy. You can also make the parfaits ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin gingersnap parfaits are a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for fall. They are made with layers of pumpkin purée, gingersnaps, and whipped cream. These parfaits are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin purée from Halloween or Thanksgiving. They are also a fun and festive treat to serve at parties or gatherings.
