Notes

Pumpkin Protein Parfait Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE NOTE: This should be thick and creamy, like cheesecake or pie filling, not thin or watery like regular yogurt.
SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Swapping the Greek yogurt for regular yogurt will make the base too thin and runny. You need the density of Greek yogurt for the pudding mix to set up properly.
STORAGE NOTE: This parfait holds its shape perfectly in the fridge. It's actually best to make it the night before so the flavors combine, just leave the graham crackers off so they don't get soggy.
SERVING TIP: Serve cold straight from the fridge and add the whipped cream right before eating.
