Gingersnap crust makes all the difference with this no-bake dessert. Layers of pumpkin spice cheesecake, pudding and whipped topping on a gingersnap crust. Pumpkin Gingersnap Dessert is a creamy, decadent treat that is so easy to put together you’ll love it! I call this a dessert, but it could be called a pumpkin lush because it fits the description perfectly. I looked it up, and synonyms of lush are words like luscious, lavish, rich and sumptuous…so you get the picture, this is a delicious dessert! The real gamechanger here is the gingerbread flavor combined with pumpkin spice!
Delicious!
Prepare the gingersnaps by placing them in a small plastic bag and gently crushing them with a rolling pin. Is there such a thing as gently crushing? Maybe not, but just leave them a bit chunky rather than pulverizing them. The crunchy texture is great. A layer of pumpkin cheesecake goes on top of the gingersnap crust that’s followed by a layer of creamy pudding and whipped topping. Crush a few gingersnaps to go on the top, and you’re all done. Be sure to allow time for this to sit in a fridge for a few hours, so that is will set up nicely and be easy to serve. You will have people coming back for seconds of this fabulous dessert!
Great textures and flavors!
If you love the flavors of fall, this will be a one you’ll want to make over and over again. All of the ingredients are readily available year round, so who’s to say you can’t make this anytime you want? Afterall, sometimes you just need pumpkin spice, right?
