In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to the cream cheese. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Reserve about 1/4 of the whipped cream for topping. Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture to create a light and airy mousse-like texture.
Start assembling the parfaits by adding a layer of the crumbled cookies or graham crackers to the bottom of four serving glasses.
Add a layer of the pumpkin filling on top of the crumbs using a spoon or piping bag for neatness.
Repeat the layers of cookie crumbles and pumpkin filling until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of pumpkin filling.
Top each parfait with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream.
Garnish with additional cookie crumbles and chopped pecans, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving for a firmer texture.
