Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 cup granola
• Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until well combined.
4. Layer the pumpkin mousse mixture, whipped cream, and granola in tall, clear parfait glasses.
5. Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of granola.

Helpful Tips

For a quicker assembly, you can use store-bought whipped cream. To make the parfaits even more decadent, consider adding a layer of caramel sauce. If you prefer a lighter version, Greek yogurt can be used in place of heavy cream.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cover the parfait glasses with plastic wrap to maintain freshness.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have granola, crushed graham crackers or ginger snaps work wonderfully for that necessary crunch.

Pairings

These Pumpkin Mousse Parfaits pair beautifully with a cup of spiced chai tea or a glass of warm apple cider. For a complete autumnal dessert spread, consider serving alongside a slice of apple pie or some caramel popcorn.
