This no-bake pumpkin cheesecake parfait is the ultimate sweet ending to your holiday feast. Vegan & Gluten-free
We love this Pumpkin Cheesecake Parfait
Let’s just get right to it friends….this decadent, no-bake dessert will knock your socks off! I can only say that because it’s gotten rave reviews from those who tried it, including a dear friend who hates all things pumpkin. That’s right, she dislikes pumpkin (say it ain’t so) and yet she LOVED this pumpkin cheesecake parfait.
Last year I was able to win her over with my Vegan Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake and now this! I’m on a pumpkin winning streak!
The flavor will win you over as well but I also know that you will also love how easy this is to make recipe (video below). Another bonus is that it’s Top 8 Free, Vegan & Gluten-free! So much yumminess, packed into these adorable little dessert cups (gotta ❤️ Target) without any of the allergens…now that’s a desert to be thankful for!
Use Delicious “free from” ingredients, like these…
- Enjoy Life Sugar Cookies
- Organic Pumpkin Puree
- Vegan Cream Cheese (Daiya for Top 8 or Tofutti if soy is ok)
- Liquid Sweetener (Brown Rice syrup is my fav & highly recommended)
- Pure Vanilla, Pumpkin Spice
- Vegan Coco Whip (feel free to make your own or grab some So Delicious from the freezer section)
- Gluten-free Pretzels (Glutino is our fav but you can also used roasted nuts if nuts are safe for your diet)

The cheesecake parfait looks and sounds TOP NOTCH! And that awesome glass you have it in…OMG! I want it all!
Thanks Jenn! I must admit I love those little glasses too (Target has some great finds!)
How simple and beautiful! I would love to make something similar with apple instead of pumpkin!
I bet that would be delicious too! I’m sure you can change it up depending on the holidays.
This is a beautiful dessert. I love the glass and spoon, too.
Thanks Amanda.
I’d be happy with just one of these layers, but all of them. Yes!
oh yes, gotta have them all!
I feel like after making all the Thanksgiving fixings this dessert is the answer to the ‘no more!’ feels of planning a family feast. I actually still haven’t tried a sweet pumpkin treat, it isn’t very popular here in Germany.
I know how you feel when it comes to all the holiday cooking…sometimes you just need a little break and this will give it to you! I say it’s time to share the sweet pumpkin with Germany….they’ll thank YOU for it
These little cheesecake parfaits are adorable! I love that they are allergy friendly.
Allergy-friendly makes them perfect for sharing during the holidays.
I love So Delicious Coconut Whip.It pairs perfectly with the pumpkin. I love the dessert glasses. Where did you find them?
Yes, their coconut whip is perfect with this! And those dessert glasses, snatched them up at Target. I always keep my eyes peeled in their little bins for great finds.
I thought I recognized those dessert cups! I love Target so much as well! This dessert is so amazing by the way!
I have so many things from Target for the blog π
Love the presentation of this dessert! Totally festive for the Fall and Thanksgiving and I can tell just by looking how delicious they are.
Thanks Jereann! Although perfect for the fall, I really could eat this up any time of year
Yum, yum and more yum. Those jars are adorable too!
Thanks Megan! Sometimes you just find the cutest things in those bins at Target π
These look perfect for dessert…I love how easy you make these look to make.
Sandi, they really are so easy to make! Enjoy.
I am all about these parfaits Nicole! I’ve never been big on pie crust, and this is all about the filling. Delicious!
Hey Alisa, I’m a pie crust snob so I get it. Unless its a really good crust, I end up just scooping out the filling anyway.
