Yalda Night Delight: Easy and Delicious Pumpkin Parfait

How to Make Pumpkin Parfait:

To prepare the pumpkin parfait, you first need to make marshmallow cream. To make homemade marshmallow cream, dissolve one tablespoon of gelatin powder in cold water and place it over steam until it dissolves.

In a separate pan, combine one cup of sugar and half a cup of boiling water, and place it on low heat until the sugar dissolves. As soon as the mixture begins to boil, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly. Then, add the gelatin mixture to the pan and return it to the heat for 10 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the marshmallow cream thickens, remove it from the heat. When it cools, add a quarter teaspoon of vanilla and the same amount of lemon juice, then mix well using a hand mixer on high speed until it thickens.

Now that the marshmallow cream is ready, let's move on to the pumpkin parfait. In a bowl, combine the marshmallow cream, cream cheese, and one tablespoon of orange juice concentrate, then mix well with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, walnuts, maple syrup, cinnamon powder, and the remaining tablespoon of orange juice. Then, add one-fourth of the marshmallow cream to the pumpkin mixture and stir.

Prepare four to five glasses for serving the pumpkin parfait. Layer the prepared ingredients in the glasses. For the first layer, add a few tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, then fill the rest of the glass with the pumpkin mixture for the second layer.
Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for two hours to chill and set. After a few hours, take the parfaits out of the fridge and garnish with ginger biscuits and chopped walnuts.
