ingredients

13 gingersnaps (or use chocolate wafers or graham crackers)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
¹⁄₂ cup confectioners' sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
¹⁄₂ cup pumpkin puree, canned
2 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons Bourbon (or use Rum)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, grounded
¹⁄₂ cup white chocolate chips
2 cups heavy cream, chilled (or use fat-free cool whip)

directions

Put 7 cookies in a zip-lock plastic bag and crush into crumbs with a heavy pan.
Brush the bottoms and about 1 inch up the sides of 6 parfait glasses (or use wine goblets) 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 and refrigerate the prepared glasses.
Place 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, the pumpkin puree, 1-1/2 teaspoons of the bourbon (or Rum) and the ground pumpkin pie spices in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, about 1 minute.
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at medium power about 1 minute, stirring halfway until melted.
Add to the pumpkin mixture and process until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
Beat 1-1/2 cups chilled heavy 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. Beat the remaining 1/2 cup cream with a mixer until foamy. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon bourbon and beat until soft peaks form.
Top the parfaits with the whipped cream and the reserved cookie crumbs and the remaining 6 cookies.

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen. Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
