Easy Pumpkin Icebox Cake

This No-Bake Pumpkin Lasagna is one of my new favorite desserts. The other is my Apple Pie Lasagna. I love dessert lasagna, and you will too once you try this recipe!

If you’ve never had dessert lasagna, you don’t know what you’re missing! This one is layers of graham crackers, pumpkin mousse and whipped cream, and chocolate chips.

Best of all? It requires no baking! You can whip this recipe up in about 15 minutes, then let it chill in the fridge for a few hours. During that time, the graham crackers soften to a cake-like texture which is perfectly paired with the light and airy pumpkin mousse.

Key Ingredients

• Cream Cheese – use a full-fat block of cream cheese for the best texture.
• Pumpkin – make sure you’re using pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. The puree is just pumpkin. The filling will be sweetened with other added ingredients.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice – use store-bought or homemade pumpkin pie spice.
• Cool Whip- For a quick and easy option, I use Cool Whip, but you can certainly make homemade whipped cream instead.

How to Make Pumpkin Lasagna

This pumpkin dessert takes a quick 20 minutes to prep before chilling!

1. Whip the cream cheese. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps.
2. Add the remaining mousse ingredients. Add the heavy cream and pumpkin, beating until combined, then mix in the powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Fold in one container of Cool Whip and mix until combined.
3. Assemble the lasagna. Cover the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, then layer in graham crackers. You may need to slice some of the crackers to fit. Cover with 1/3 of the mousse followed by a layer of chocolate chips. Finish with a layer of Cool Whip, then repeat the layers two more times.
4. Chill and serve. Sprinkle the top of the lasagna with another layer of chocolate chips, then chill in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours.

Recipe Tips

• Line the pan. Make sure you layer parchment paper on the bottom of the pan to prevent the crackers from sticking.
• Cover the whole pan with graham crackers. You can use a serrated knife to cut the graham crackers into pieces that fit the whole bottom of the pan. Use as many whole graham crackers as possible though for the best structure.
• Add caramel. Want even more sweetness? Add a drizzle of caramel as another layer!

Do Icebox Cakes Go in the Fridge or Freezer?

The fridge! Icebox cakes got their name because they were developed and used to promote the icebox in the 1930s. Now, since we have refrigerators, they can just be stored in there.

However, they can also be kept in the freezer for longer storage.

How Long Can You Keep an Icebox Cake?

In the fridge, your pumpkin icebox cake will last for up to 3 days. You can also wrap it tightly and store it in the freezer for up to 1 month. To enjoy again, thaw in the fridge, then slice and serve.

Description

This No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Lasagna is a quick and easy fall dessert. It’s made up of layers of graham crackers, pumpkin mousse, whipped cream, and chocolate chips.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 can (about 1 cup) Pumpkin puree (I use Libby’s 15oz can)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp {umpkin pie spice
• 2 (80z) containers Cool Whip, thawed
• 1 Box (14oz) Graham crackers 
• 1 cup Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Whip the cream cheese with your whisk attachment on medium speed until fluffy and free of lumps
2. Add the heavy cream and pumpkin and beat until all the ingredients are well combined.  Next, add the powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix on medium speed until well blended.
3. Fold one of the 8oz container of Cool Whip into the pumpkin mixture and mix until it’s well combined. 
4. In a 9-inch square pan, lay a piece of parchment paper on the bottom. Lay out the graham crackers to cover the bottom of the pan so there are as many large pieces as possible. For one edge, you will need to break the graham crackers apart or cut them with a serrated knife.
5. Divide the pumpkin mousse into thirds. Cover the graham crackers with 1/3 of the pumpkin mousse. Add a small handful of mini chocolate chips on top and cover with a thin layer of Cool Whip from the second container. Repeat this twice so that you end up with three layers. Sprinkle the top layer with mini chocolate chips.
6. Refridgerate for at least three hours for the graham crackers to soften. This is best served cold, but it must stay refrigerated.

Notes
