  7. Next, divide the pumpkin pie cashew cream between the 4 jars, layering over the granola.
  8. Divide the remaining yogurt between each jar layering over the pumpkin cream, and then finish by topping each jar with 1 tablespoon of the granola.

Notes
*You may chill the pumpkin pie cashew cream in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the parfaits or you can make the parfaits and place them in the fridge for 30 minutes so that they are nicely chilled.
