Easy Pumpkin Parfaits
This time of year things get crazy. From Halloween, my Wedding Anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas; it can really get overwhelming.
So I was happy to find these Easy Pumpkin Parfaits from Food and Wine Magazine.
These Easy Pumpkin Parfaits are easy to make and can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. And anyone that has hosted a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner at their home knows the value of a make-ahead recipe.
I halved the recipe for my version, but the original version makes up to 12 servings. Perfect for larger dinner parties. With it’s beautiful layers of pumpkin mousse, with whipped mascarpone cheese and crushed chocolate cookie crumbs, this dessert will look beautiful on any fall themed dinner table.
