Pumpkin Parfaits





I've re-purposed my Coconut Pumpkin Pie Milkshake (recipe below) to make parfaits! The milkshake is thick enough to create perfect layers. I used unsweetened vanilla coconut yogurt and toasted coconut flakes and walnuts. So simple and feels like a decadent dessert!

I toasted the coconut flakes and walnuts at 350 F for 5 minutes. Next time, I'm going to add a crumbled graham cracker layer :)

I can't believe it's already fall, although it's still quite hot here in Florida! This milkshake is helping me get into fall spirit though. It truly does taste like pumpkin pie in a glass!
