A creamy and spiced pumpkin parfait layered with Greek yogurt and crunchy gingersnap crumble.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup crushed gingersnap cookies or cinnamon granola for the crumble

Instructions

  1. Make the Pumpkin Layer: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. Chill the Layer (Crucial Step for assembly): Transfer the pumpkin-cottage cheese mixture to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will thicken it, making it easy to create clean layers.
  3. Assemble the Parfaits: In two glasses, create alternating layers. Start with a layer of the chilled pumpkin mixture, followed by a layer of Greek yogurt, and then a sprinkle of the gingersnap or granola crumble.
  4. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full.
  5. Serve immediately for the best crunchy texture from the crumble.

Notes

  • Chilling the pumpkin mixture ensures easy layering.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for best results.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.
