Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Granola for layering
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Prepare clear glass parfait glasses or mason jars to create visually appealing layers.
- Begin layering by adding a generous spoonful of granola to the bottom of each glass, creating a crunchy base.
- Carefully spoon the pumpkin-yogurt mixture over the granola, filling approximately one-third of the glass.
- Add another layer of granola on top of the yogurt mixture to provide texture and crunch.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating between yogurt mixture and granola until the glass is nearly full.
- Finish each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream on top, and sprinkle a small amount of pumpkin pie spice for additional garnish.
- Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and enhance the dessert's overall taste.
