Will you be making this awesome pumpkin lasagna for the holidays this year?
Check out what my pals over at Delish had to say about this recipe:
“This dessert goes by many names. We’ll refer to it as both a dessert lasagna, but it’s also known as a Better Than Sex Cake. (For the record, it’s not the only dessert that claims to be better than sex.) It could be called a Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle that’s not served in a trifle dish. Call it whatever you want—we’re calling it amazing: graham cracker crust, layers of mousse-like pumpkin cream, cheesecake pastry filling, whipped cream, caramel drizzle.”
I don’t care what it’s called as long as it’s on my plate and then shortly thereafter in my belly.
Ingredients
10 Keebler graham crackers, crushed
1 stick Land O Lakes butter, melted
1/4 c. + 1/2 cup Domino sugar
1 (8 oz) package Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
3 c. Borden heavy cream
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 c. TruMoo milk
3 small packages instant Jell-O vanilla pudding
1 c. Libby’s canned pumpkin
2 tsp. McCormick pumpkin pie spice
1/2 c. jarred Smuckers caramel sauce
3 tbsp. Domino powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x11 glass baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and ¼ cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly add in 2 cups heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
In another medium bowl, beat milk, pudding mix, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice until well-mixed and thick. (Start with 1 1/2 cups milk and beat until it’s the consistency of a pudding—if it’s too thick, continue to add the rest of the milk.)
Finally, in small mixing bowl, beat remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar until it forms soft peaks.
Layer lasagna: Pour 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture over the graham crust, then top with 1/3 of the pumpkin mixture. Drizzle 2 tbsps. caramel sauce on the pumpkin. Repeat two more times. Before the final drizzle of caramel, top the last pumpkin layer with whipped cream, then finish with a final drizzle of caramel. Allow lasagna to chill in refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
