What I like about this recipe

The pumpkin chiffon in this parfait is light and airy with hints of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Just place these on your dessert table and you have some lovely individual servings.

Use mason jars with lids as these are the perfect favor to send home with your guests. Give them a little reminder of the time they spent with you - plus, they will have a treat to enjoy when they arrive home.

Storage

Place a lid on the parfaits or wrap in plastic. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dessert does not freeze well.

Equipment

  • 12 6 ounce mason jars with lids
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Saucepan
  • Bowls, measuring cups and spoons
  • Silicone spatula

Ingredients
 
 

Pumpkin Chiffon

  • 1 ¼ Cups Pumpkin Puree Do not use pumpkin pie filling
  • ¾ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 4 Large Egg Yolks (save the whites - you need these later in the recipe)
  • ½ Cup Whole Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 Tablespoon Powdered Gelatin
  • 3 Tablespoon Cold Water For dissolving gelatin
  • 4 Large Egg Whites Preferably room temperature - the whites will whip better at room temp.
  • ½ Cup Granulated Sugar

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  • 1½ Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • ⅓ Cup Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water and set aside to allow gelatin to set.
    1 Tablespoon Powdered Gelatin, 3 Tablespoon Cold Water
  • Combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, milk, egg yolks, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg into a heat-proof bowl. Whisk well to combine.
    1 ¼ Cups Pumpkin Puree, ¾ Cup Light Brown Sugar, 4 Large Egg Yolks, ½ Cup Whole Milk, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger, ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • Bring a pot of water to a low steam. Place the bowl on top of the pan of steaming water. Notes: 1) the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water, and 2) the water should not be boiling.
  • Stir the pumpkin mixture occasionally (every 3 - 5 minutes). Continue to heat the mixture until it reaches 160° F - 180° F.
  • Add the set gelatin to the bowl and whisk until the gelatin is completely melted.
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Place the egg whites in a clean bowl. Begin mixing using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Mix on medium speed until the egg whites appear foamy. Continue mixing while slowly pouring in the granulated sugar. Continue to mix until egg whites reach medium peaks.
    4 Large Egg Whites, ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the cooled pumpkin mixture.

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  • Place heavy cream, powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon in a bowl. Whip the cream until medium peaks form.
    1½ Cups Heavy Whipping Cream, ⅓ Cup Powdered Sugar, ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Assemble Parfaits

  • Spoon pumpkin chiffon into mason jars until ¼ full. Add a thin layer of whipped cream. Spoon more pumpkin chiffon into the mason jars and finish with a swirl of whipped cream.
  • Add additional items to the top of the parfait as desired (e.g. chopped pecans, toasted coconut, ginger cookie crumbles, etc...)

Notes

Note: keep parfaits refrigerated until ready to serve
