PUMPKIN PIE PUREE

Combine all ingredients together in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until perfectly smooth. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, refer to the below notes. Taste and, if necessary, adjust the sweetness with maple syrup, molasses or another natural sweetener.

 

ASSEMBLING THE PARFAIT

In 4 small jars or glasses, place a thick layer of pumpkin pie puree (about ¼ of the puree in each jar.) Add a big dollop of coconut whip and a thin layer of pomegranate arils. Add about ¼ cup of granola. Top with another thick layer of pumpkin puree. Sprinkle with more granola, add a dollop of coconut whip and a dash of cinnamon and a few pomegranate arils.

NOTES

For frozen pumpkin: Spoon pumpkin purée into ice cubes trays and freeze. You only need about 6 frozen pumpkin cubes for this recipe. If you're not using a high-speed blender, your blender may struggle to blend frozen pumpkin. You can let the cubes thaw for 20 minutes or so at room temperature to soften up a little bit.
