Meal preparation is one of the things that I do while Allison is at work. Sometimes I like to surprise the family with a tasty dessert. I’m always looking for new ideas and coming up with some of my own. When asked to participate in this #ThankfullySweet project with #CollectiveBias I was excited because I could use my creativity with Mrs. Smith’s Pies and Kraft Cool Whip. An all new dessert was going to become part of my repertoire. If you need more inspiration, check out the Cooking Up Good website. It has recipes, sweepstakes, loyalty programs, coupons and more!

Is there anything more delicious than a big dollop of Cool Whip on a piece of pie? I am going to say yes, yes there is. I’ve created two desserts with the same ingredients and they were both big hits with the family. At least one of the desserts will become something I will serve again. Actually, this coming weekend I will be serving it to the folks I work with. We’re doing a Pie Party Pot Luck over the course of the weekend. I will be introducing everyone to the Sweet Potato in the Pumpkin Patch Parfait, right after I tell you all about it in the video and recipe below.

What is really nice about the Sweet Potato in the Pumpkin Patch Parfait is that you can have a little taste of many dessert flavors and textures in one cup and not overdo it.

I decided that I wanted to combine a Mrs. Smith’s Pie with cake. I really wanted to see a fun layered look to the dessert. My heart was set on Pumpkin Pie but I was unable to obtain one at my store. I decided that I would try out sweet potato pie for the first time because it had the look and consistency that I wanted for my recipe. Also, it was as close to pumpkin pie as I was going to get. I was glad that I got it because now I have another pie that I enjoy.

I knew that I was going to have leftover pie pieces and that is why I made the Sweet Potato in the Pumpkin Patch Parfait as well. This is much easier to assemble than the PieCake. You just take the pieces from all your ingredients, layer them nicely and you’ve got yourself an incredible dessert with complimentary flavors and textures. I love textures of food from the soft creaminess of the Cool Whip to the flaky buttery Mrs. Smith’s pie crust. Okay, I’ve talked long enough about how good it was. I should tell, and show, you how I made it.

Finding the Mrs. Smith’s Pies and Cool Whip was super easy. They were right next to each other in the frozen dessert section at our local Walmart. There is even a coupon that you can use to get $1.00 off with the purchase of a Mrs. Smith’s Pie and a container of Cool Whip. The coupon will be live from Nov 10-Dec 10.

There was a good selection of Mrs. Smiths Pies at my local Walmart. There are many flavors that I would love to try.

Delicious!
