Whiskey Pumpkin Shortbread Parfait

My name is Cheryl………..and I’m addicted to PUMPKIN!

Do you love pumpkin as much as I do? This time of year I feel like I can’t get enough of it!

You can eat it in cupcakes, pancakes, cream cheese, pie, whoopie pies, even coffee!

So when the good people at Walkers Shortbread asked me if I would use their famous shortbread in a recipe during the holidays………….PUMPKIN Parfait was the first thing that popped in my head!

If you don’t already love Walkers Shortbread, I’m sure you’ve seen them around.  They’ve been in the business of baking shortbread in small batches in a family bakery in the Scottish Highlands for over 100 years.

 

You are going to love me! Because this recipe I came up with is SO  scrumptious, something totally EASY to make, something you and your whole family will LOVE (you can leave out the alcohol for the kids).  We just won’t talk about what it will do to your hips!

This is a great alternative to pumpkin pie!
