Pumpkin Butterscotch Pudding Parfait
Pumpkin Butterscotch Pudding Parfait
We love pumpkin in this house. I love the taste of a freshly baked pumpkin pie topped with lots of whipped cream at Thanksgiving and pretty much any time of the year. However did you know that pumpkin is actually a very versatile superfood that can be used year round? I was recently challenged to use Libby’s Pumpkin to create the perfect spring recipe. We created a Thanksgiving dessert that is so light and delicious that you might just love it as much as we do! Even better that it's one of our recipes with butterscotch pudding. We hope that you love this Pumpkin Butterscotch Pudding Parfait or butterscotch parfait.
Pumpkin the Superfood
Pumpkin is a superfood and:
- is a good source of fiber and a great source of Vitamin A.
- can reduce the fat in some of your favorite recipes.
- can also be stirred into jarred or prepared sauces to reduce sodium per serving.
- can be used as a substitute in your favorite recipes to reduce calories.
Libby's Pumpkin can be used year round for a variety of recipes
Did you know that Pumpkin is a versatile vegetable in that can be used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes throughout the year? I have never thought about it like that but pumpkin really is something that can be used year round. Pumpkin also works great as an add-in. Stir a couple of tablespoons into a variety of foods for an added boost of fiber, Vitamin A and flavor – oatmeal, smoothies, macaroni and cheese. We have started adding it to our smoothies. Pumpkin makes our smoothies even more creamy and delicious. Keeping pumpkin on hand throughout the year is also a great idea. Leftover pumpkin can be portioned or put into an ice try and stored in the freezer so it ready whenever you want it.
There are some great pumpkin desserts that I absolutely love like weight watchers pumpkin custard, pumpkin mousse cupcakes, sugar free pumpkin dip and even dairy free pumpkin mousse. This recipe took all of that but one step further.

I am drooling over here! This loos so yummy. I love anything with pumpkin!
Would be nice to have pumpkin year-round (fresh), but with recipes like this one even canned would do!
Pumpkin and butterscotch – what’s not to love there. Yum! It’s nice to have canned pumpkin on hand for recipes like this.
I love all things Pumpkin! I think pumpkin is good all year round too. Great recipe
I love pumpkin. My mom used to make us kids ‘pumpkin custard’. She used Libby’s canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) and followed the recipe on the can for pumpkin pie. She just didn’t bother making the crust for pie. I can still smell that pumpkin custard when I would come home from school. It didn’t last long. My brothers and sisters scarfed it up in no time. I hadn’t thought of putting some in smoothies. Good idea.
I am drooling! That looks amazing, who would have thought you could have used canned pumpkin other than pumpkin pie!
I adore pumpkin year round, too. The parfait sounds heavenly.
Yum, Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite things but for some reason it seems like it is against the rules to eat it outside of the November/December holiday time frame. This looks like a delicious way to get my pumpkin fix!
