Spicy Pumpkin Parfait

These spicy pumpkin parfaits are a great way to cozy up with your favorite fall flavors. Layering parfaits in pint-size canning jars like Mason jars is a genius way to prep your meals the day before and store them sealed in the refrigerator for up to three days. The jar can double as a to-go container as well, so you can enjoy your pumpkin parfait anywhere. Plus, thanks to a kick of heat from cayenne pepper, these parfaits are perfect for spice lovers!
