Pumpkin Parfait

So we have this fantastic grocery store in NY, called Wegman's, they have a lot of unique things, and they are always making up some cool seasonal parfaits in their bakery. I usually buy one and figure out whats in it and duplicate it. The girls love having them for an afternoon snack. This is the pumpkin one for fall. And I love making them because you can just kind of used whatever you have on hand.

crushed gingersnap cookies
pumpkin cake crumbs
whip cream topping
pumpkin filling

layer all the above in a glass dish or glass cup and serve chilled

*pumpkin filling
large can of pumpkin, a pinch or 2 of pumpkin pie spice, 2 pudding packages and the milk the pudding directions call for, mix all up with a hand beater, or electric mixer. This makes enough for about 8 parfaits or so.

I used up my gingersnap cookies, so I have used vanilla wafers, graham crackers, whatever cookies you have on hand usually work.

for the pumpkin cake crumbs, I bought pumpkin donut holes and used my pampered chef food chopper to turn them into crumbs, but angel food cake, spice cake anything like that would work.

for the pumpkin filling, I used the pudding boxes I had at home, I used a small box of vanilla and a small box of butterscotch. It was yummy, might use 2 boxes of butterscotch the next time.
