Review of Seijo Ishii's original sweets "Chestnut and Pumpkin Parfait". Autumn-like sweets with rich pumpkin cream and chestnut mousse layered on top of each other.

Chestnut and pumpkin parfait

A cup dessert made by layering biscuits on chestnut mousse using cane sugar, squeezing pumpkin cream and whipped cream, and topped with walnuts and pumpkin seeds. The price was 358 yen (excluding tax).



The light green color of pumpkin seeds that shines in the yellow color of pumpkin cream squeezed like roses. When viewed from the side, you can see the overlap of multiple layers.

I tried to eat

The pumpkin cream that I first encountered is creamy but has a slightly pumpkin-like texture. And the sweetness and flavor of pumpkin is strong! It has a dense taste as if the pumpkin itself was squeezed. You can eat it alone and enjoy the richness, or you can enjoy the mild richness with whipped cream. The aroma and texture of walnuts and pumpkin seeds are also a nice accent.


The chestnut mousse in the lower layer is fluffy and ephemeral. This is also full of chestnut flavor! It's not as thick as pumpkin cream, but it spreads lightly. You can also enjoy the difference in mouthfeel when you put it together.


A cup dessert that you can enjoy the deep autumn harmony by eating chestnut mousse and pumpkin cream alone. Recommended for days when you want to be extravagant ♪
