These Graveyard Pumpkin Cheesecake Parfaits are based on a standard no-bake cheesecake recipe and just add pumpkin and spice. They're a good recipe for Halloween because you can make them in advance and chill until you're ready to serve them.
The secret ingredient in the cheesecake mousse is lemon juice. It interacts with the cream cheese mixture to firm everything up while keeping it light and fluffy with just a little bit of tanginess.
It's up to you how you want to decorate them. I love using Milano cookies to make headstones. And I always enjoy an excuse to buy candy corns this time of year!
Happy Halloween!
