Description

Pumpkin Delight is a creamy, no-bake dessert with a buttery graham cracker crust, a velvety pumpkin filling, and a smooth whipped topping. A perfect treat to embrace the flavors of fall!


Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup melted butter

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, divided

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée

1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix

1½ cups cold milk

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Crushed pecans or graham crumbs (optional topping)


Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Let the crust cool completely before continuing.
  2. Cream layer: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.
  3. Pumpkin layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cream layer.
  4. Top it off: Spread the remaining half of the whipped topping over the pumpkin layer.
  5. Chill: Place the dessert in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, slice and top with crushed pecans or extra graham crumbs for added texture if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of spice, swap out the graham cracker crumbs for crushed gingersnap cookies in the crust.
  • To make this vegan-friendly, use dairy-free cream cheese, whipped topping, and plant-based milk.
  • If serving to guests with nut allergies, you can skip the crushed pecans for a nut-free version.
  • Adjust the pumpkin spice to your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
