Ingredients

  • 15 oz can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 package vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz
  • ½ cup dulce de leche
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 cup Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 4 sleeves honey graham crackers
  • pumpkin pie spice to sprinkle

Instructions

  • To the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the pumpkin purée, pudding mix, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and dulce de leche.
    15 oz can pure pumpkin puree, 1 package vanilla pudding mix, ½ cup dulce de leche, 1 cup powdered sugar, 8 oz cream cheese
  • Mix well on low speed.  Stop the machine, scrape down the sides, and mix again on medium speed.
  • Gently fold in approximately 2 cups of Cool Whip, saving the rest for later.  
    4 cup Cool Whip
  • Mix well again.
  • In a 9x13'' baking dish, create the cream layer by spreading about ½ cup worth of the pumpkin cream mixture across the bottom of the dish with an offset spatula.
  • 6. Place a layer of honey graham crackers across the entire surface of the pumpkin layer, as best as you can.
    Break off pieces if needed to help fit.

  • Measure out approximately half of the remaining pumpkin mixture and spread evenly.
  • Spread evenly with the offset spatula.  
  • Add another layer of graham crackers.  
  • Spread out the remaining pumpkin mixture and top with the last layer of graham crackers. 
  • Add the remaining cool whip on top of the graham crackers.
    4 cup Cool Whip
  • Spread the Cool Whip evenly on the whole thing with an offset spatula.  
  • Sprinkle with a little pumpkin pie spice for decoration.

  • Leave at room temperature for at least 4 hours.
    This allows the crackers to soak moisture to soften and cut more easily.  Enjoy! 

Notes

  1. The icebox pumpkin cake can be stored in an airtight container (or covered with plastic wrap) for 2 days. 
  2. Use pumpkin puree for this recipe NOT pumpkin pie filling
  3. If using whipped cream (rather than Cool whip), measure out 2 cup of heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup powdered sugar.  Mix in the bowl of a stand mixer on high speed for approximately 3-4 minutes or until stiff peaks.  Use as directed.
