Luscious Layered Pumpkin Cream
One of the best things about Fall is all of the pumpkin flavored treats…pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, and pumpkin cheesecake. So, I decided to make a dessert that layers many of these flavors in one creamy dessert. Using graham cracker crumbs, cream cheese, pumpkin, vanilla pudding, whipped cream and candied pecans, I created Luscious Layered Pumpkin Cream. I think you’ll like it!
It just wouldn’t be Fall without all the flavors of the season. This recipe rolls all the fall desserts into one. It begins with a delicious graham cracker crust, then a cream cheese layer is added. But don’t stop there, then comes the layer of pumpkin flavored pudding and it is all topped off with a layer of sweet whipped cream. Wow, heaven on a plate! I can’t wait for you to give this recipe a try.
