It is fall people and I’ve managed to somehow not post something pumpkin yet. Say what? Seems a bit crazy to me too, but here we are with a doozy (or should I say boozy) recipe from the super talented Joanne Andrea. This is a woman after my own heart. If you love boozy desserts, these pumpkin parfaits are perfect for you. If you want to avoid alcohol, this parfait recipe is still perfect for you because the schnapps is really optional. So there you go, best of both worlds.
Joanne mixes cream cheese, real pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to create a deliciously easy filling. She holds nothing back on top with caramel, fudge and pecan pieces. These pictures really make me drool. Can you blame me?

Rather than show some step by step shots which are rather easy to visualize anyway, I’m going to leave you with some extra finished shots instead.
Because really, it is a little like food porn and who am I do deny someone their fix?
Yep. That good.
If you make these I hope you’ll come back and let me know if they were a hit! Happy fall!
