Ingredients
- 13 gingersnaps, chocolate wafers or graham crackers
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin
- 2 1/2 teaspoons bourbon
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
Directions
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.
Put 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, the pumpkin, 1 1/2 teaspoons bourbon and the nutmeg in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, about 1 minute.
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.
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.
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, reserved cookie crumbs and the remaining 6 cookies.

I'm going to use mini trifle dishes (tea party size leave out the whipped cream in the pumpkin and layer it - gingersnap cookie crumble (with a bit of butter, white chocolate ganache (made w/butter and cream pumpkin layer and sprinkle it with two halves of a cookie and sprinkled with chopped up ginger chews. It will be beautiful and festive for a holiday party! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

I'm sorry but I hated this. The white chocolate ruined it for me. I'd rather just make a pumpkin pie filling and use that. The star is only because I had to give a rating. Sorry.
