PUMPKIN PARFAIT
This no-bake dessert, inspired by an idea from my colleague Suzanne Hamlin, does require a few hours in the freezer. Still, the active working time is about 20 minutes. You start with canned pumpkin purée, stir in cream, milk and spices, and freeze. Several hours (or days) later -- when you're ready for dessert -- you cut up the frozen purée and put it into the food processor, which makes it smooth and creamy. Layer this ingenious creation with lightly whipped cream if you like - or not.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, 3/4 cup cream, milk, 3/4 cup sugar, spices and rum. Line an 8- or 9-inch square pan with plastic wrap, and pour the mixture into the pan. Wrap the whole pan in plastic, and freeze it in the coldest part of your freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours, until it is frozen solid; it can keep for as long as two days.
- Remove the pan from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving.
- Whip the remaining cream with the 1 tablespoon sugar. Refrigerate while completing the dessert.
- Working quickly to avoid as much melting as possible, cut the frozen pumpkin mixture into small cubes and purée them in a food processor until they are smooth. In small parfait or wine glasses, layer 2 tablespoons pumpkin mixture, then a rounded tablespoon whipped cream, alternating for 4 layers. Serve immediately.
