Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whipped cream preferably chilled
  • 1/2 cup crushed sugar cookies for crunch and flavor
  • 1 cup candy corn for color and chewiness

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • Serving glasses or jars
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Begin by gently folding the crushed sugar cookies into the whipped cream until just combined, maintaining its fluffy texture.
  2. Spoon a layer of the whipped cream mixture into the bottom of each glass, filling about one-third of the space and creating a smooth, even surface.
  3. Add a generous handful of candy corn on top of the first layer, spreading them out evenly for a colorful, chewy layer.
  4. Repeat the process: add another layer of whipped cream over the candy corn, smoothing the surface with the spatula.
  5. Top the parfaits with a final scattering of candy corn, making sure they are visually vibrant and inviting.
  6. Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set slightly, then serve immediately for the best texture and visual appeal.

Notes

For added flair, briefly chill the whipped cream before folding in the cookies to enhance its fluffiness. Feel free to add a sprig of mint or extra candy corn on top before serving for a festive touch.
