Pumpkin Pie Parfait

Submitted by sheepdoc

"Adapted from several I found on the Internet. Recipe called for butterscotch pudding, which I used, but you could taste the butterscotch too much so I think vanilla would be better. Cooking time is cooling time."

This was an unusual, delicious dessert! I used gluten free ginger snaps, homemade pumpkin puree (no canned pumpkin available here) and almond milk to be cow's milk free. For the cool whip, which doesn't exist in Germany, I used rice whip (kind of whipped cream on rice base). But I think the flavour must have come out like intended despite all these changes, and we really loved it. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2013

We both liked this very much. It was relatively easy, I messed up the order of a couple steps and it still turned out fine. The pudding mixture was pumpkiny goodness. I agree that butterscotch pudding would have been too overpowering in flavor, because the vanilla was perfect. Beside of my mess up, I followed the recipe as stated and got 5 eight ounce dishes. I didn't have any parfait glasses. I made this for PAC Fall 2012, thank you!!
