Double Layer Pumpkin Parfait Cups Recipe

Double Layer Pumpkin Parfait Cups Recipe

~~~for Thanksgiving~~~~

I don't know about many of you but I always host 

Thanksgiving dinner, and by the time it comes to

serving dessert I am about wiped out exhausted.

Well, look what my youngest daughter came up with

as an easy grab-it-and-serve-yourself dessert!

Cindy asked in comments, so I should add this:
Daughter made them for that awesome
Halloween party she hosted and I just saved
mentioning it till now to be a seperate post.

If you missed the post about her awesome party you can find
the post here.

There was a fall coloured MnM on top I accidentally

pushed down that you can't see, didn't notice till it was

too late consumed. Oops.

But don't they look fun all lined up together?

First make a cookie or graham crackers crust following a generic online or on box recipe for it and place in bottom of little plastic shot glass cups. The vessel may be motified to use anything see-through that you may already have, too such as wine glasses, ect. She wanted little bit size ones because more often than not one just needs a little taste of sweet and not an entirely huge dessert.

Filling ingredients you will need:

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. milk, divided
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin
2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) vanilla Instant pudding
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves

Directions: 

Beat cream cheese, 1 Tbsp. milk and sugar in large bowl with whisk until blended. Stir in half the COOL WHIP. Pipe spread onto bottom of crust.

Whisk remaining milk, pumpkin, dry pudding mixes and spices 2 min. (Mixture will be thick.) Pipe spread over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Serve topped with remaining whipped topping.....and/or other options: fall coloured sprinkles, coloured sugar sprinkles, shaved chocolate. 

There you have it - a fun, cute and simple dessert

for your guests - and easy to transportor send home

if that is what you do, too!

As always, thank you for your visit!
