Pumpkin Lasagna
I saw different versions of this pumpkin pie dessert lasagna on Pinterest and my mouth immediately began watering! I knew I just had to put my own spin on it and it turned out soooo good. I think I’ll be making this pumpkin lasagna every holiday from now on (along with homemade pumpkin pie, of course).
The icing on the cake (sort of literally) to this delicious dessert are the pumpkin pie baking chips. I am OBSESSED with these things. I searched high and low for them and couldn’t find them anywhere, but I finally found them on a random lunch trip to Target. If you can’t find them, white chocolate chips would be a delicious substitute.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Dessert Lasagna
This Pumpkin Dessert Lasagna is so easy to make, which is just one of many reasons that I love it so much. It has the perfect creamy texture, and everything blends together so well to create the most amazing flavor!
Here’s a quick overview of the recipe:
- Make the crust: Place graham crackers in a resealable bag & use a rolling pin to crush them up. Pour in melted butter & knead it into the crackers. Then press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a baking dish. Bake 6-8 minutes.
- Make pumpkin pie mousse: Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, then add in heavy cream and whisk together. Mix in powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree, then add 1 container of Cool Whip and whisk together.
- Make whipped topping: Combine 1 container of Cool Whip with melted white chocolate and whisk together.
- Assemble: Spread 1/2 the pumpkin mousse mixture in an even layer on top of the graham crackers crust. Place rows of lady fingers, and then spread the rest of the mousse in an even layer. Spread on the white chocolate whipped topping, a thin layer of cool whip, and then sprinkle on the pumpkin spice chips.
Let the pumpkin pie dessert lasagna chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving. See the recipe card below for more detailed instructions.
How to Store this Dessert Lasagna
Since it’s only the two of us in the house, we froze this dessert lasagna to make it last longer. I was tempted to eat it all in one sitting, but freezing it and eating a little at a time was a better choice! You can freeze it in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Just take it out about 30 minutes before eating for maximum deliciousness! (hint: make it a couple days before Thanksgiving and wow your guests!)

Pumpkin Pie Dessert Lasagna
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve graham crackers
- 6 ounces melted butter
- 8 ounces low fat cream cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 can pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1/2 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 8 ounce containers of lite Cool Whip plus another 1/2 container 4 ounces cool whip
- 15 ladyfinger cookies
- 6 ounces good quality white chocolate melted
- 1 cup pumpkin spice chips if you canâ??t find these, white chocolate chips would also be delicious!
- 1 cup chopped pecans optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Place the graham crackers in a gallon ziplock bag (sealed) and crush using a rolling pin. Crush into as small of pieces as possible. Pour melted butter into bag and reseal, then knead the butter into the grahams until well combined. Pour graham mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish and press firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will be your crust. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add heavy cream and whisk until well combined. Add powdered sugar, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined. Add one container of cool whip and whisk on high for 1-2 minutes until fluffy and completely smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the other 8 ounce container of cool whip with the melted white chocolate. Whisk until completely combined and smooth. Set aside.
- Once your crust is cooled, top with half of the pumpkin mousse and spread it around to form an even layer. Top with lady fingers (put them into even rows) and then top with the rest of the pumpkin mousse. Top the mousse with the white chocolate whip cream and spread out evenly. Spread a thin layer of regular cool whip (the half a container from above) over everything and sprinkle on pumpkin spice chips and pecans.
- Chill in fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. You can also freeze if you prefer it to be less creamy. If freezing, take out of freezer 30 minutes before serving.

This is SO pretty and SO brilliant!
Thanks Julie!
Saw your recipe online, I would love to make it sometime, I am in Canada, but was wondering what brand/company makes the Pumpkin Spice Chips?
Hi Dianne! They’re made my Nestle Tollhouse. I always have trouble finding them, but you can buy them online now! http://www.amazon.com/Nestle-House-Pumpkin-Spice-Chips/dp/B00NBLHN4G/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452017718&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=tollhouse+pumpkin+spice+chips BUT you can also make this recipe without them. Hope you love the recipe, thanks for stopping by!
I made this the other night to take to work. it was a big hit! I added more pumpkin pie spice and would do that again. Once I was in the middle of making it, I was concerned that it was going to be way too sweet, but it was not at all. I was able to find the pumpkin pie spice chips at Target. All in all, a great dessert that I have added to my list of favs.
LOVE this! Thanks so much for letting me know, made my day!
You can find the pumpkin pie chips on Amazon! :)
When you say 3/4 can of pumpkin you mean the regular size (15 oz) can, right?
Yes, the regular size. And that is so cool you can buy the chips on Amazon, I will have to stock up! Thanks Melissa :)
haven’t seen receipe yet.
Hi Mavis. The recipe is at the bottom of the post in the recipe card. If for some reason yours doesn’t load (I think it might require flash), here is a direct link: https://www.thecookierookie.com/easyrecipe-print/6462-0/ Enjoy!
My sister made this for Thanksgiving, it was delicious.
That makes me so happy! Thanks for stopping by and letting me know :)
Pumpkin spice chips???? Must be another USA thing! Not available in my little corner of Canada! Such a bummer! Glad that you put in the suggestion for white chocolate chips (at least I have some of these, due to a previous shopping trip to the US!) So many food products that you have that are not available here in Canada! This sounds really good, and although we have already had our Thanksgiving, I may just put this on my table sometime in November. If it turns out half as good as it looks, I’ll be on a diet for several months afterward!
The white chocolate chips will be just as good. I have only seen the pumpkin chips one place…darn! Hope you love the recipe! Thanks for stopping by :)
