Pumpkin Lush

Our pumpkin lush is one of the most popular recipes on balancingmotherhood.com. It's the perfect no-bake dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Let's start by making the crust. You need two cups of graham cracker crumbs. So put graham crackers in a food processor and pulse it until you get really fine crumbs. Add those to a bowl with one tablespoon of granulated sugar and eight tablespoons of unsalted butter. Mix that together and then you're going to press it into a 9x13 pan. You can use your hands, the back of a spatula. We used a glass and just press it in and then you're going to bake it at 350 for about five minutes just until it sets. Now you're going to make the cheesecake layer. You're going to get 16 ounces of cream cheese, that's two blocks, and two cups of confectioner's sugar and just cream that together until it's all combined and then you're going to fold in a cup of whipped topping and do this gently so that the whipped topping doesn't fall flat. Now you've got this gorgeous thick cream cheese layer that you can spread over the graham cracker crust and just get a nice even layer. Put that in the refrigerator to chill while you're making the pumpkin layer. Now the pumpkin layer you have to make a little bit of a pudding with some vanilla pudding and half and half and mix that together and then you're going to add in 15 ounces of canned pumpkin puree and of course add some pumpkin spice. Mix that together and then once again you're going to fold in a half a cup of your whipped topping and mix that together until it's all combined and then put this layer on top of the cold cream cheese layer. Add a layer of just whipped topping. You can add chopped pecans on this. This is an incredible easy no-bake dessert that looks so fabulous. It's perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas and any type of fall activity. Like and follow for more easy recipes.
