Pumpkin Dream Dessert Delight

Your Pumpkin Dream is made of this dessert and you need it NOW! 

Layers, Layer & Layers of Pumpkin Dream Delights!

It all starts with a buttery and delicious graham cracker crust, baked to perfection.  Next bring on a rich and creamy cheesecake layer, with just a bit of tang in each bite.  Third is the pumpkin “mousse/pudding” layer.  This light pumpkin layer brings everything together to make this the perfect fall treat.  To finish it everything is topped with fresh whipped cream, like this All Day Whipped Cream and some toasted pecans or walnuts.  

These layers are everything!  

It is not just for Fall…

I know, I know pumpkin desserts are typically reserved for Fall but this dessert is something you can make year round.  Instead of adding in the pumpkin you could make it with chocolate pudding or just vanilla pudding.  Maybe even add in some fresh berries for a fun summer treat.

Truly so many options…. make it perfect for each and every holiday.

Get to whipping!

Whether you use homemade whipped cream or store bought it is still so, so good.  There is just something so great about whipped cream on a dessert.  I still lick the bowl after I whip up some fresh whipped cream.  It is so simple but just so, so good and makes anything feel just a little more special.

My mom would always fresh whipped cream for dinner parties and now I do the same.  Do you?
