    Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert

    This heavenly Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert will be knocking' on Thanksgivings' door big-time.  Creamy, dreamy layers of cheesecake pudding, light and fluffy pumpkin mousse and whipped cream sinfully and deliciously atop a superb nutty shortbread crust.

    You'll definitely want to end your family Thanksgiving meal on a sweet note with this pumpkin lasagna dessert recipe!  You may love this refreshing No Bake Strawberry Cream Layered Dessert too!

    layers of Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert

    This popular layered dessert is wonderful for potlucks, holidays and crowds!  There's enough for 18-24 servings depending on how big your servings are. 

    When I said this was sinfully delicious in the first paragraph, I was not kidding, one little bit!  It's one of the best layered pumpkin desserts everyone wants to dive into when they see it, especially around Thanksgiving time!

    Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert

    As far as the nuts in this layered pumpkin dessert, if you have an allergy or just don't like them, you can just leave the nuts out. 

    I wanted to add some crunchy toffee on top, but the hubs was like umm...no, but it would be good, ya know!  But I did add some chopped white chocolate and walnuts, but you can modify to your own liking, right?  Still would go for toffee! 

    He likes it when I ask his opinion and he does have a lot of good ideas, but sometimes he thinks all of his ideas are the best, which a lot of them are, except "Houston!", we have a slight problem. BTW...He's a total dessert snob!  UGH!! 

    He always turns his nose up when I suggest I'm going to make something with peppermint, banana, lemon, apple, walnuts, marshmallows, or with Whoppers and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Anyways, I knew he would give his stamp of approval for this layered pumpkin dessert!

    He loves pumpkin and whipped cream and everything else in this luscious pan, so it was a win-win at the homestead for sure!

      Yay! So happy to hear Tricia! It's definitely a favorite for Thanksgiving! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    2. Kim Lange says

      If you want to make your own whipped cream, 1 cup of whipping cream + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar whipped together using a mixer until you get stiff peaks, without overbeating. So, in the recipe, yes it would be already whipped. Hope you enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving Faith!

    3. Tricia says

      November 25, 2020 at 10:48 am

      This is sooooooo good! I made it last year and seeing this recipe come around again in my email reminded me that heck yeah, I need to make it again this year! I cut the recipe in half and put it in a 9x9 pan and make it gluten free (gluten free flour in the crust), It's delicious...light, fluffy, and the perfect dessert after a big meal. Oh, I can't wait to eat it again!

    4. Faith L Gregg says

      November 25, 2020 at 10:17 am

      Is the "whipped cream" mentioned in the recipe for the Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert whipping cream that has already been whipped?

    5. Amy (Savory Moments) says

      October 29, 2018 at 2:24 pm

      This is my kind of dessert! Looks delicious!!

      Perfect recipe. Easy, Peasy and Delicious.

      Hi Susan! I would substitute up to 1 cup confectioners sugar instead of the nuts. (You can add up to one tablespoon of water if the dough is too stiff) If you're having trouble pressing the shortbread flat in the pan because it's sticking to your fingers, cover it with a piece of plastic wrap, and push on the wrap. Remove the wrap before baking. 🙂

    8. Susan says

      October 07, 2018 at 10:54 am

      I want to make this to take to work, but one of my co-workers has a nut allergy. If I remove the nuts I'm guessing I need to add more flour. Do you think it would be cup for cup or not quite as much flour?

    9. Kim Lange says

      September 11, 2018 at 12:24 pm

      Wow, in a month? You better get on it Ben! LOL! Thank you so much, I'll look forward to seeing what you put out there on your blog. 🙂

      Seriously, that's one of the most unique pumpkin desserts I've ever seen, Kim! Although I haven't started my pumpkin season yet, I think it's the time considering the fact that Thanksgiving is in a month in Canada. Fantastic idea!

    11. Neha says

      September 07, 2018 at 11:53 am

      I love lasagna desserts! And you took it to the top adding pumpkin Kim, please save me a slice! 😉

    12. Marie says

      September 06, 2018 at 11:17 pm

      Oh my! Dessert lasagna. This is just genius. I'm in Australia so pumpkin desserts aren't a big thing over here but I'm being increasingly exposed to them and the more I taste, the more I totally get it. This looks gorgeous

    13. Katherine | Love In My Oven says

      September 06, 2018 at 11:00 pm

      I want a pumpkin version and a toffee version please. Yes, the whole pan 😉 Amaze-balls Kim!! Yum!

      I don't think I could get 18 servings out of this. I'm thinking it would be a maximum of three because I'd have eaten most of it on my own long before I ever get around to serving it :). It looks just divine!

    19. Catherine says

      September 05, 2018 at 2:50 pm

      Oh my goodness! I love all of those rich, heavenly layers- looks so very delicious! I'm always drooling over your desserts 😀

      November 15, 2017 at 9:53 pm

      oooh glad that you added pecans! i like crunchy elements in my creamy desserts, so this sounds perfect (:

    22. ChocolaTess says

      November 14, 2017 at 9:01 am

      It feeds a crowd, so it's perfect for Thanksgiving Kelly!! 😀

      This totally sounds amazing! I love the creamy layers and then the crunchy pecans. Totally need this on my Thanksgiving menu!! Xoxo 🙂

      November 13, 2017 at 1:07 pm

      Ikr? I agree! Maybe I should just go with my gut feeling...ha! Thank you dear!

    27. Catherine says

      November 13, 2017 at 12:36 pm

      Oh my goodness, I love all these scrumptious layers, can't wait to try this! 😀 And I think toffee sounds like the perfect topper!!!

    28. ChocolaTess says

      November 13, 2017 at 11:57 am

      LOL, I could definitely do that Kelsie!! Thank you dear!!

    29. Kelsie | the itsy-bitsy kitchen says

      November 13, 2017 at 9:57 am

      OK, I think you should make this version for your husband, and then make the toffee version for the two of us to share. (Better make a double batch of the toffee version actually.) This looks unbelievably good, Kim! I'm drooling!
