Best 4 Pumpkin Pudding Parfaits Recipes

PUMPKIN PARFAITS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir milk and pudding mix with whisk 2 minutes. Stir in pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Refrigerate until ready to assemble parfaits.
• In another medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with electric mixer on low speed until blended and smooth. In chilled large bowl, beat whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
• In each of 6 parfait glasses, spoon 1/4 cup pumpkin pudding; top each with 6 tablespoons cream cheese mousse mixture. Repeat layers. Refrigerate 2 hours or until serving time. Just before serving, top each parfait with a cookie.

PUMPKIN MOUSSE PARFAITS

Steps:

• Place the rum in a heat-proof bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Set aside for 10 minutes for the gelatin to soften.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg yolks, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set the bowl of gelatin over a pan of simmering water and cook until the gelatin is clear. Immediately whisk the hot gelatin mixture into the pumpkin mixture. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture.
• To assemble, spoon some of the pumpkin mixture into parfait glasses, add a layer of whipped cream, then some chopped cookies. Repeat, ending with a third layer of pumpkin. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. To serve, decorate with whipped cream and slivered crystallized ginger.

PUMPKIN-GINGERSNAP PUDDING PARFAIT

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup of the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk a little at a time to avoid lumps, then whisk in the egg.
• When the milk is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in the sugar-milk mixture, stirring constantly. Return to medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a simmer and is thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
• Divide the pudding among four to six 1/2-cup ramekins or serving glasses, layering each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the gingersnaps. Top with additional cookies. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.

PUMPKIN PUDDING PARFAITS

Steps:

• Prepare pudding according to package directions. Be sure to whisk for the full two minutes as the box instructs to ensure creamy texture.
• Whisk in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
• Allow to set up in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes (longer is better).
• In 4 small glasses (I used juice glasses), spoon in about 1/3 cup of pumpkin pudding, spreading with a spoon to create an even layer.
• Next, add a layer of cool whip, followed by the last layer of pumpkin pudding.
• Top with a dollop of cool whip and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and pecans.
• Enjoy immediately while graham crackers are still crunchy.
