Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream chilled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed candy corn about 10 pieces, lightly crushed
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup candy corn whole, for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Piping bag or spoon
  • Serving glasses or jars

Method
 

  1. Pour the heavy cream into a chilled mixing bowl and add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk the mixture vigorously until soft peaks form and the cream becomes fluffy and slightly stiff.
  3. Gently fold in the crushed candy corn, mixing just until evenly incorporated, ensuring some crunch remains visible.
  4. In a separate bowl, layer a spoonful of Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt at the bottom of each serving glass.
  5. Add a layer of the whipped candy corn cream over the yogurt, spreading it gently to create an even layer.
  6. Repeat the layering process—yogurt followed by whipped candy corn cream—until the glasses are filled, ending with a whipped cream layer on top.
  7. Garnish the top of each parfait with whole candy corn for a colorful and festive finishing touch.
  8. Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and texture to set slightly.

Notes

Feel free to customize with additional fall decorations like sprinkles or a drizzle of caramel. Using different colored candy can add extra visual fun!
