Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.75 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy. Set aside.
In another bowl, whip 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar together until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated to create the mousse. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 15 minutes to set.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble wet sand.
To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each glass or jar, about 2 tablespoons per serving.
Add a generous layer of pumpkin mousse on top of the crumbs, followed by a small dollop of whipped cream made from the remaining 0.5 cup of heavy whipping cream (whipped to soft peaks).
Repeat the layers as desired, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, a dash of cinnamon, or even a small decorative pumpkin candy, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
