Great recipe to use leftover pumpkin pie

Thanksgiving is over and all that's left is the leftovers. If you have ever had leftover pumpkin pie, it's difficult to think of it as anything but a leftover, but we have come up with a recipe that will transform leftover pumpkin pie into a delicious parfait.

This recipe is very easy to make, delicious, and you will forget that you are eating leftovers.

We had some stemless wine glasses that we used to serve these.  It was so pretty and totally  made a statement.

If you do not have any leftover pumpkin pie, this is good enough to bake a crustless pie just so you can make it.

Pumpkin Pie Parfait
Serves 4
• 1 cup Baked pumpkin pie with crust removed
• 4 oz Softened cream cheese
• Dash Cinnamon
• 4 serving size Vanilla instant pudding
• 1 ⅓ cup Milk
• ½ cup Cool whip or used whipped cream
• 4 slices Pound cake
• 2 tbsp Bourbon or rum, optional
  1. In a medium sized bowl, mix pumpkin pie filling until it’s smooth. Stir in softened cream cheese until well blended. Add cinnamon to taste. The amount needed will depend upon the flavor of the pie filling.
  1. In another bowl, mix together vanilla pudding and milk until thick. Fold in Cool whip.
  1. Brush pound cake lightly with bourbon or rum. Dice the pound cake into ½” pieces.
  1. In a parfait dish layer pound cake, then cream cheese/pumpkin mixture, then pudding. Top with another layer of pound cake. Repeat. Put a dollop of cool whip on the top. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
