No Bake Pumpkin Delight

This creamy delicious pumpkin dessert will knock your socks off…if you’re wearing any. No Bake Pumpkin Delight has a gingersnap crust with layers of cream cheese, pure pumpkin, and vanilla pudding. Scrumptious!

I know we typically wait until Fall to bust out the pumpkin recipes, but once you’ve tried this one, you may want it year-round.

It’s easy to make, you won’t need that pesky oven, and it turns out great every time. Let’s get started.

Making No Bake Pumpkin Delight

First, we make the crust. Mix the gingersnap crumbs with the melted butter, then measure out 1/2 cup and set aside.

Press the remaining crumb mixture into a 9 x 9″ baking dish. Place in the refrigerator while working on the next step.

Quick note: you can use the same bowl if you clean it out between crust and layers.

Next, make the first layer. Add the pudding to the milk and beat until smooth and creamy.

Then add the pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Note that the recipe says “1 cup,” not “1 can” of pumpkin.

Once combined, dollop the pumpkin mixture over the crust and gently spread into an even layer. The crust is fragile at this point. It takes some time in the fridge to harden the butter that’s in the crust to firm it up, which is why you need to be gentle.

Next layer: beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Then, fold in half the whipped topping. Dollop this cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin mixture and again, gently spread it into an even layer. The more dollops, the easier it is to spread.

Almost there.

Last step: spread the remaining whipped topping over the top (yes, gently), and sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture on top.

Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight, then dive in. I prefer letting it set up overnight, because all those delicious flavors blend together in what I call Fridge Magic. It truly tastes better the next day. You’ll see. (wink)
