- Roast the pumpkin in advance: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin up to 3 days in advance.
- Make sure the pumpkin is completely smooth: Before adding the pumpkin to the parfaits, make sure it is completely smooth. This will help prevent the parfaits from being grainy.
- Use high-quality yogurt: The yogurt is a major component of the parfaits, so use a high-quality yogurt that you enjoy. Greek yogurt is a good option because it is thick and creamy.
- Sweeten the yogurt to taste: If you find that the yogurt is too tart, you can sweeten it with honey, maple syrup, or sugar.
- Layer the parfaits carefully: When layering the parfaits, start with a layer of yogurt, then a layer of pumpkin, then a layer of granola. Repeat the layers until the parfaits are full.
- Top the parfaits with whipped cream or nuts: For a finishing touch, top the parfaits with whipped cream or nuts.

Pumpkin parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for fall when pumpkins are in season. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a healthy and satisfying parfait that is sure to please everyone.
