    These gluten free pumpkin pie parfait cups are perfect to serve for Thanksgiving. You can make these the day before so you have dessert ready to go after the meal without having to use your oven or make one more thing the day of your gathering.

    This recipe uses my gluten free gingersnap cookie recipe. You can bake those 2-3 days in advance so they are ready to use when you assemble your gluten free pumpkin mousse parfaits. I made homemade whipped cream, but you could also use store bought whipped cream to make assembling these desserts even easier.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can these parfaits be made ahead?

    Yes! Making these gluten free pumpkin gingersnap parfaits a day in advance is my favorite way to serve this dessert. I think the flavor intensifies and gets even better when these pumpkin mousse parfaits have at least a day in the refrigerator.

    Being able to make this dessert ahead of a gathering is one of my favorite things about it. Not having to worry about making dessert the day of an event is such a relief.

    How long will these parfaits last?

    These gluten free pumpkin gingersnap parfaits will last in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. If they are left any longer the cookie portion will start to get mushy. To store them place a lid or plastic wrap over each cup to keep air and moisture out.
