Why You’ll Love This No Bake Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert

You’ll love how easy it is to throw together and how stunning it looks when served. The layers give it that showstopper appeal while the flavors are deeply comforting and perfectly spiced. It’s a no-fuss, no-fail recipe that even beginner bakers can pull off. And let’s not forget: it feeds a crowd without keeping you in the kitchen for hours.

What Kind of Cookies Should I Use for the Crust?

Gingersnaps or graham crackers are top choices here. Gingersnaps will bring a warm spiced kick that pairs beautifully with the pumpkin layers, while graham crackers offer a milder, honey-sweet base. If you’re feeling adventurous, try using speculoos cookies for an even richer flavor. Whatever you choose, crushing them finely and mixing with melted butter creates the perfect no-bake crust to hold everything together.

Ingredients for the No Bake Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert

This dessert layers simple pantry staples with whipped toppings to build up that lasagna-style structure. Each ingredient has a purpose—from flavor to texture—and together they create dessert harmony.

• Vanilla extract
• Instant vanilla pudding mix
• Milk
• Whipped topping
• Chopped pecans (optional)

How To Make the No Bake Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert

Step 1: Build the Crust

Crush the gingersnap cookies into fine crumbs and stir them together with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your 9×13 dish to form a solid, buttery crust layer. Pop it in the fridge while you prep the rest.

Step 2: Create the Cream Cheese Layer

Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and a touch of vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Fold in some whipped topping for extra lightness. Spread this mixture over the chilled crust.

Step 3: Make the Pumpkin Pudding Layer

Whisk together the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding mix, pumpkin pie spice, and cold milk until thick and smooth. This luscious, spiced layer gets spread on top of the cream cheese.

Step 4: Add the Final Fluffy Touch

Top it all with a generous layer of whipped topping and a sprinkle of chopped pecans if using. Chill the entire dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait.

Serving and Storing No Bake Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert

This dessert is best served cold, straight from the fridge. The layers stay neat and slice cleanly when well chilled, making it a great choice for potlucks or holiday dessert tables. It serves around 12 to 15 people depending on portion size, and leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days.

If you want to make it ahead, simply assemble and cover the dish tightly before refrigerating. Avoid freezing it though, as the texture of the whipped topping and pudding may not hold up well after thawing.
