Pumpkin Spice Latte Tiramisu Parfaits
Your favorite fall coffee-shop treat in a creamy no-bake parfait! Earthy pumpkin is complemented by warm spices, rich espresso, and toasty bourbon in this seasonal take on a classic Italian dessert.
Did you see that? Did you see what I did there?
Yes. It’s pumpkin tiramisu. I know.
I have this weird neurotic thing, where I only want to post recipes that are original. I was so psyched when I thought of this idea, because I may not be all that into pumpkin desserts, but I am seriously in love with the pumpkin spice latte. The idea of turning it into a never-before-seen dessert had me patting myself all over the back.
I even looked it up on Foodgawker, to see if it had already been done! And no, it hadn’t!
Enter my husband, who google searched it and rained all over my pumpkin parade. Boo. Thanks universe. I guess that’s what I get for being so smug.
Turns out pumpkin tiramisu is, most definitely, already a thing, and it’s been done by every Food Network celebrity chef plus Martha herself. Oh well. So much for that.
I just had to get creative with the title >;D
Because, I want you to know, that maybe you are like me, and Pumpkin + Chocolate = no bueno, but let’s not forget about coffeeeeee! We all love a pumpkin spice coffee right???
This nails it! And it’s super quick to put together. No-bake, baby!
If you are hosting a party this fall, this is a great pumpkin dessert. Just a step or two up on the elegance scale from good ol’ punkin pie. It can serve a big crowd, or just a few. The recipe doubles, triples, halves, what have you, very easily. You can layer it up in a big baking dish and cut it into squares, or individually portion it into anything from a wine glass to a highball, to a ramekin to a cereal bowl. And you can make it ahead! In fact, it gets even better the longer it sits…
So rich and indulgent!
I love the earthy pumpkin and fall spice, combined with the rich coffee… and the toasty bourbon adds such warm complexity!
If you love a pumpkin spice latte, you are going to luuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrve this dessert! It’s like a sweet and creamy bite of Fall!

Thank you Laura! It really does taste just like a Pumpkin Spice Latte, only creamier and sweeter. If you can imagine that, lol!

Who doesn’t, right Eric? Thanks so much for reading, and happy blogging to you too!
An additional bonus- the bourbon used in this post is Booker’s and was a gift to me from my father-in-law, Allie’s dad. Tom P. would have loved this one.
Aw, I didn’t even realize that bottle was from my dad… He would have loved it, he was such a connoisseur of fine spirits! To Tom P.!
WOW!!! I love pumpkin spice lattes and I know I will love this. By the way, who cares if the internet has done it? It was an original idea for you! When I ‘think’ I’ve come up with something creative, I don’t search to see if it’s done. I just create it and post about it. If it’s been done…whatever! Now, please pass a spoon please 🙂
You are so right, Zainab! I wish my hubby had never googled it! Totally took the wind out of my sails… So glad you liked the recipe, though! Ps- Did you get my email or did it maybe end up in your spam folder? It just occurred to me that it might have gone into spam, I replied from a different address than the one you originally emailed me at…
OMG, I love this!!! WOW!
Thanks Alice! I had a PSL in the airport on the way home from Seattle and it totally inspired me! But I can’t believe I actually thought it hadn’t been done before… duh! 😛
Oh la la. They look scrumptious! I just want a spoon right now!
Lol, thanks, Melanie! Mr. Allie inhaled it for dessert last night 😛
