These parfaits are a great make-ahead breakfast. I make them on the weekend and then grab one on my way out the door in the morning.

I didn't have any gingersnaps, so I used graham crackers instead. They worked just as well.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my parfaits turned out really runny. I think I might have used too much milk.

These parfaits are the perfect way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I always have some on hand after Halloween, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed these parfaits. The gingersnaps and yogurt balance out the sweetness of the pumpkin.

I thought the gingersnaps were a bit overpowering. I might try using a different cookie next time.

The parfaits were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. Next time I'll use less sugar in the pumpkin mixture.

Absolutely delicious! The pumpkin and gingersnap flavors complement each other perfectly, and the yogurt adds a nice tang. I'll definitely be making this again.
