Ingredients

  • 15 oz can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla pudding mix
  • ½ cup dulce de leche
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 cups Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 sleeves honey graham splitters
  • Pumpkin pie spice, for sprinkling

Step-by-step Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, pudding mix, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and dulce de leche. Mix on low speed until well combined. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl and then mix again on medium speed until smooth.

Step 2

Gently fold in about 2 cups of Cool Whip, reserving the remainder for later use. Continue mixing until the mixture is evenly smooth.

Step 3

In a 9×13 baking dish, spread approximately ½ cup of the pumpkin cream mixture across the bottom of the dish.

Step 4

Cover this base layer with honey graham splitters, breaking pieces as necessary to fit the dish.

Step 5

Evenly spread half of the remaining pumpkin mixture over the layer of graham splitters.

Step 6

Add another layer of graham splitters over the pumpkin cream.

Step 7

Spread the last portion of the pumpkin mixture over this and cover with the final layer of graham splitters.

Step 8

Top with the remaining Cool Whip, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a touch of pumpkin pie spice on top for decoration.

Step 9

Allow the dessert to sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours to let the graham splitters soften, making it easier to cut and serve.

Servings & Preparation Time

This recipe serves approximately 12-15 people. Total preparation time is about 20 minutes, not including the 4 hours needed to allow the dessert to set properly.

Tips for Storage

  • Keep the dessert refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain freshness and texture.
