Pumpkin Lasagna
I saw different versions of this pumpkin pie dessert lasagna on Pinterest and my mouth immediately began watering! I knew I just had to put my own spin on it and it turned out soooo good. I think I’ll be making this pumpkin lasagna every holiday from now on (along with homemade pumpkin pie, of course).
The icing on the cake (sort of literally) to this delicious dessert are the pumpkin pie baking chips. I am OBSESSED with these things. I searched high and low for them and couldn’t find them anywhere, but I finally found them on a random lunch trip to Target. If you can’t find them, white chocolate chips would be a delicious substitute.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Dessert Lasagna
This Pumpkin Dessert Lasagna is so easy to make, which is just one of many reasons that I love it so much. It has the perfect creamy texture, and everything blends together so well to create the most amazing flavor!
Here’s a quick overview of the recipe:
- Make the crust: Place graham crackers in a resealable bag & use a rolling pin to crush them up. Pour in melted butter & knead it into the crackers. Then press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a baking dish. Bake 6-8 minutes.
- Make pumpkin pie mousse: Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, then add in heavy cream and whisk together. Mix in powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree, then add 1 container of Cool Whip and whisk together.
- Make whipped topping: Combine 1 container of Cool Whip with melted white chocolate and whisk together.
- Assemble: Spread 1/2 the pumpkin mousse mixture in an even layer on top of the graham crackers crust. Place rows of lady fingers, and then spread the rest of the mousse in an even layer. Spread on the white chocolate whipped topping, a thin layer of cool whip, and then sprinkle on the pumpkin spice chips.
Let the pumpkin pie dessert lasagna chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving. See the recipe card below for more detailed instructions.
How to Store this Dessert Lasagna
Since it’s only the two of us in the house, we froze this dessert lasagna to make it last longer. I was tempted to eat it all in one sitting, but freezing it and eating a little at a time was a better choice! You can freeze it in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Just take it out about 30 minutes before eating for maximum deliciousness! (hint: make it a couple days before Thanksgiving and wow your guests!)

This is SO pretty and SO brilliant!
Thanks Julie!
Saw your recipe online, I would love to make it sometime, I am in Canada, but was wondering what brand/company makes the Pumpkin Spice Chips?
I made this the other night to take to work. it was a big hit! I added more pumpkin pie spice and would do that again. Once I was in the middle of making it, I was concerned that it was going to be way too sweet, but it was not at all. I was able to find the pumpkin pie spice chips at Target. All in all, a great dessert that I have added to my list of favs.
You can find the pumpkin pie chips on Amazon! :)
When you say 3/4 can of pumpkin you mean the regular size (15 oz) can, right?
haven’t seen receipe yet.
