This is one of the easiest Thanksgiving desserts that I have ever made. It blends the spices in the pumpkin with vanilla cream very well. I love that it tastes so delicious and yet doesn’t require any cooking except for toasting the pecans. Make and assemble it a day in advance, and it will be ready to serve instantly whenever needed.
Ingredients
For the Cashew Vanilla Cream:
- 1 cup cashews
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup pecans or walnuts
For the pumpkin pudding:
- 2 (15-ounce) cans pumpkin puree (3 cups)
- 1½ cups date paste
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
- To make the Cashew Vanilla Cream, soak the cashews in 1 cup water for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain the water, and add the cashews, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until creamy. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Spread the pecans or walnuts on a baking tray and toast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
- Crush the nuts into smaller bits.
- To make the pumpkin pudding, place the pumpkin, date paste, cinnamon, and allspice in a food processor, and blend into a paste. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Pour the pumpkin pudding evenly into 8 parfait cups, top each with some cashew cream, and sprinkle with the toasted nuts.
- Refrigerate the parfait for at least an hour before serving.
