How to make pumpkin lasagna dessert

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat cream cheese in the mixer until smooth. Add in powdered sugar and heavy cream and mix until well blended
In a large mixing bowl, mix the packs of vanilla pudding with milk, pumpkin, and spices.
To construct the dessert lasagna, start with a layer of gingersnaps on the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Add a layer of cheesecake filling on top of that, using half of the cheesecake mixture.
Top the cheesecake layer with half of the pumpkin/pudding mixture, and then top that with another layer of gingersnaps.
Complete the layering with the second layer of both the cheesecake layer and the pumpkin pudding layer.
Decorate the top of the dessert with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkling of pecan pieces and another layer of gingersnaps.
Chill for 4 hours or overnight before serving.

The next time that you’re looking to whip up a unique and delicious dessert, this is the one that you need to try! It’s simple and easy and as you know we are all about that!

Can you leave out the gingersnaps if you don’t want them in this recipe?

You can, but then there wouldn’t really be anything that would be separating the layers. Instead, if you don’t like gingersnaps, just swap those out for a different type of cookie. You could even try a shortbread cookie if you wanted to try something different.

The gingersnap cookies really play well off the pumpkin. They compliment the pumpkin but pumpkin would go well with other cookies too. Even a pumpkin cookie would be great for this dessert.

How long is this pumpkin lasagna good for once it’s made?

While it’s hard to set a true limit on this lasagna, my rule of thumb is that it needs to be eaten within 72 hours. (and trust me…this is so good you won’t have any trouble accomplishing that). We never and I mean NEVER have any leftovers!

Remember to keep it stored nicely in the fridge with a lid on as well as that’s the best and most efficient way to keep it as fresh as possible.

The next time that you’re invited over to a friends house, tell them that you’ll be bringing some lasagna for everyone to enjoy…and then watch the look on their face when you show up with this homemade dessert. Well maybe tell the hosts that it is a dessert. You don’t want there to not be an entree for dinner.

It’s a simple and fun way to treat your family and friends to a delicious pumpkin dessert treat!
