Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more vibrant flavor and a smoother texture than canned pumpkin puree.
Don't overcook the chia pudding. Overcooked chia pudding will be too thick and gummy. Cook it just until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Use high-quality coconut milk. Full-fat coconut milk will give the parfaits a richer, creamier flavor.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. You can add nuts, seeds, granola, or fruit to the parfaits for extra flavor and crunch.

Conclusion:

Coconut pumpkin parfaits are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're easy to make, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a parfait that's both satisfying and nutritious.
