Oh what to do with all of those pumpkins on November first. Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network is one of our favorite chefs to follow for her soothing voice and creative presentations. She is the earthy aunt we all wish we could visit for tea after a long day! Parfait is “perfect” in french and this is sure to please.
We needed to alter this recipe to take out the processed sugar (we can do without) and add applesauce and brown sugar. Some would choose to forego the sugar all together and stick with natural vegetable and fruit flavors.
The gingerbread cookie and pumpkin filling should be homemade if possible – but can be bought locally if needed at Tendercrop or Cider Hill Farm. View her video and then make changes as you see fit for your family. You have to admit it looks fantastic. Share your own fall dessert secrets.
