1-2cupspure pumpkin pureeThis is not to be combined with the 1/4 cup also on the ingredient list.
Instructions
First, make the Chia Pudding...In a bowl, combine the milk, 1/4 cup pumpkin pie puree, honey, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Using a whisk, stir well until everything is completely combined. Then, add in the chia seeds to the liquid mixture. Stir well with the whisk for a few seconds and make sure the seeds don't clump up. Let sit and wait 10 minutes before stirring again. Cover and put in refrigerator overnight or for at least 3 hours. Once the pudding is ready, make sure you stir well again!
To make the Parfait...Using the remaining pure pumpkin puree, put a layer of it on the bottom of the dish or bowl or jar, then layer on that the sprayed whipped cream, then the sliced bananas, then the pumpkin pie chia seed pudding, then a dollop of the whipped cream in the center and finish with a sprinkle of the pumpkin pie spice!
Notes
If you want to eat this for breakfast and have it portioned out, divvy up all the parfait layers into small bowls or mason jars. This recipe makes 5+ parfait small jars/bowls/dishes.If you want to make it for dessert or for a big group on any occasion, I would invest in the large parfait dish that I talk about in the post. Your layers will be larger and you can keep going until you reach the top!
