    Ingredients

    I love that this creamy dessert is made with easy to find, simple ingredients.

    Tips for making vegan pumpkin pie parfait

    • The “hardest” part about this recipe is remembering to put your cans of full fat coconut milk in the fridge at least a day before. Two days is better. When you put the canned coconut milk in the fridge, the coconut cream separates from the water, leaving it the perfect heavy cream for our fluffy mousse.
    • You can find canned coconut milk in the international section of your grocery store. It’s where you will find soy sauce, Thai curry paste, miso paste and more.
    • Make sure to get full fat canned coconut milk. The lite coconut milk has a lot less fat and creaminess and won’t make this as decadent.
    • If you forget to put the coconut milk in the fridge a day or two before, no worries, you can substitute vegan whip cream for the coconut cream. No biggie. I’ve got your back.
    • To save yourself time during the holiday, make the pumpkin mixture the day before, and have it ready to layer into a wine glass the day of Thanksgiving. This will help the mousse to thicken up and become even more decadent.
    • Don’t make more work for yourself, just buy pre-made granola. Make sure to read the ingredients to ensure there isn’t any honey or dairy.
    • If you don't want to use wine glasses or champagne flutes, just use small mason jars.
    • When blending the pumpkin mousse in the blender, you may need to use a rubber spatula to wipe down the sides a few times. Blend for at least five minutes to create a nice airy texture.
    • If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor as well, or an electric hand mixer.

    Assembling

    To assemble, put some granola or graham cracker crumbs on the bottom layer. Add the creamy pumpkin layer next. Add some whipped topping on top of that.

    Then keep layering like that; granola, pumpkin puree, whipped cream. Make sure the top layer is whipped cream. Sprinkle with a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.

    Storing tips

    Don't assemble this pumpkin mousse parfait until you're ready to eat it. Make the mousse the night before and store it in the fridge. If you assemble it too soon, the granola or graham cracker layer will become soggy.

    Keep the mousse stored separate in the fridge, in an airtight container, if you have any leftovers.
