Creamy and delicious, these healthy Paleo & AIP Pumpkin Pudding Parfaits couldn't be easier! They make a wonderful dessert or snack option and are gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free making them suitable for a wide variety of food allergies.
When the sweet tooth strikes, sometimes you want a substantial dessert. Not a little something, something that will fill both your belly and soul.
Something you just want to sink your teeth into, am I right?
And probably a bit of trying to cover up some negative feelings with food too… which yeah, we shouldn't do a ton of but I think a little here and there can't be that harmful, can it?
That's why I developed this filling, yet still easy-to-make Paleo & AIP dessert.
It satisfies your sweet tooth, fills you up, and feels like a decadent treat that you can spoil yourself with.

For the crumble topping:
- 1/2 cup Cassava or Coconut Flour

- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- pinch Cinnamon
- pinch Sea Salt
For the pudding:
- 1 medium/large Avocado
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 cup Canned Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling with the spices - just plain pumpkin)
- 1/4 tsp dried Ginger
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg (use Mace for AIP)

Instructions
For the Crumble topping:

For the pudding:
- Meanwhile, mix everything together in a large bowl with an immersion blender or hand mixer until smooth. Note: If you don't have either of those, use the back of a fork to mash the avocado and then add the rest of the ingredients in and mix.
For the Coconut Whipped Cream:
- Whisk the coconut cream and maple syrup in a bowl until mixed well.
For the Parfaits:
- Layer some crumble, then whipped cream, then pumpkin into a jar or serving dish. Repeat until the jars are full.
