Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 4 to 6 parfaits
Ingredients
  • 13 gingersnaps, chocolate wafers or graham crackers
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup plus 1.5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • ½ cup canned pure pumpkin
  • 2½ teaspoons bourbon (optional)
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 2¼ cups cold heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Put 7 cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush into crumbs with a heavy pan. Brush the bottoms and about 1 inch up the sides of 6 parfait glasses with the butter. Add a spoonful of crumbs to each and roll them around the insides of the glasses; pour out the excess crumbs and reserve for topping. Refrigerate the prepared glasses.
  2. Put ¾ cup confectioners' sugar, the pumpkin, 1½ teaspoons bourbon and the nutmeg in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Put the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% power until melted, about 1 minute, stirring halfway. Add to the pumpkin mixture and process until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
  4. Beat 1 /12 cups cream in a bowl with a mixer until soft peaks form; fold into the pumpkin mixture until smooth. Divide among the prepared glasses and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Beat the remaining ¾ cup cream with a mixer until foamy. Add the remaining 1.5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon bourbon and beat until soft peaks form. Top the parfaits with the whipped cream, reserved cookie crumbs and the remaining 6 cookies.
