These no-bake pumpkin pie parfaits are a layered fall dessert featuring creamy spiced pumpkin filling, crunchy cookie crumbs, and fluffy whipped topping—perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy treat anytime.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping, plus more for layering
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers, gingersnaps, or Biscoff cookies
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans, caramel sauce, mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together pumpkin purée, cream cheese, brown sugar (or maple syrup), pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of whipped cream to lighten the texture.
  3. In small glasses or jars, add a layer of crushed cookies.
  4. Spoon or pipe in a layer of pumpkin mixture, followed by a layer of whipped cream.
  5. Repeat layers if desired, ending with whipped cream on top.
  6. Top with additional cookie crumbs, chopped pecans, caramel sauce, or mini chocolate chips.
  7. Chill parfaits for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to set.

Notes

  • Use a piping bag for cleaner layers and presentation.
  • Gingersnaps or Biscoff cookies add extra fall flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
  • Don’t freeze; the texture changes once thawed.
  • Parfaits can be made up to a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
