Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup whipped topping for topping
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Extra gingersnap cookie crumbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the gingersnap cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a firm crust. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing other layers.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled gingersnap crust. Return to refrigerator to set.
  3. Prepare the Pumpkin Layer: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cold milk until smooth and thickened. Spread the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer in the baking dish.
  4. Top the Dessert: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pumpkin layer. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and extra gingersnap cookie crumbs for garnish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow layers to set. Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy this light and delicious Pumpkin Lush!
