Prep Time: 9 hours 25 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 9 hours 35 minutes
Yield: 4 parfaits
Ingredients
For the crunchy layer:
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/2 cup raw or toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked or shredded coconut
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt

For the cashew coconut cream layer:
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight and rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt
  • For the spiced pumpkin layer:
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
Bake the crunchy layer:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the pecans, pumpkin seeds, coconut, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake until golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes, checking periodically and stirring every so often so the nuts and seeds don’t burn. Let cool completely.

Make the cashew coconut cream layer:
  1. In a blender or food processor, puree the soaked cashews, coconut cream, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl and cover. Chill until you’re ready to assemble your parfaits.

Make the spiced pumpkin layer:
  1. In a small bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice and ginger. (You can also puree this layer in a blender for a smoother result.) Cover and refrigerate if you’re not assembling the parfaits right away.
  2. Assemble the parfaits:
  3. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the crunchy mix into the bottom of each of four 6-8 ounce dessert glasses or jars. Top with 2 tablespoons of the spiced pumpkin, followed by 2 rounded tablespoons of the cashew coconut cream. Repeat the layers one more time. Sprinkle the tops of each parfait with the remaining crunchy mix. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
