Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance can I make these Pumpkin Spice Parfait Cups?

These parfaits are excellent for making ahead! You can assemble them up to 24 hours in advance. Store the layered parfaits, including the graham cracker crumbs, tightly covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture before serving.

Can I substitute the heavy cream in this parfait recipe?

For the best results and stiff peaks, heavy cream is highly recommended. If you must substitute, you could try a high-fat coconut cream, ensuring it is well-chilled before whipping with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

What is the best way to store leftovers of the Pumpkin Spice Parfait?

Leftover Pumpkin Spice Parfait Cups should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because the graham cracker layer can soften over time, they are best enjoyed within 2 days for optimal texture contrast.
