There is nothing quite like Fall with the cooler weather, fun holidays and all the pumpkin treats to be had! This no-bake pumpkin lush might be my very favorite pumpkin dessert of them all. It has layers of creamy goodness and is even easier to make than a pumpkin pie! It’s the perfect anytime treat or a welcome addition to your Thanksgiving menu.

No-Bake Pumpkin Lush Dessert Ingredients

This recipe starts with a homemade graham cracker crust. While this dessert is incredibly simple to make, it does need time to chill as you assemble it. The graham cracker mixture is pressed into the bottom of the pan and then layered with pumpkin pudding, whipped topping, caramel and pecans.

  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Sugar
  • Vanilla pudding mix
  • Evaporated milk
  • Pumpkin puree
  • Cinnamon
  • Whipped topping 
  • Caramel sauce
  • Chopped pecans

How To Make No-Bake Pumpkin Lush

The pumpkin pudding starts with a box of vanilla pudding mix, which is mixed with evaporated (NOT condensed!) milk and flavored with cinnamon and pumpkin. It tastes just like the filling of a pumpkin pie! After the pudding is set, it’s finished off with all the toppings. If you prefer, you can use whipped cream instead of whipped topping. While I like to top this pumpkin lush with chopped pecans to add a little crunch, other great toppings would be chopped walnuts, miniature chocolate chips, white chocolate shavings, toffee bits or even fall colored sprinkles!

No-Bake Pumpkin Lush

The trickiest part of this pumpkin lush dessert is cutting it into neat slices!! For the best results, you can use a knife to pre-score the slices in the pan and then put the pan into the freezer for about 20-30 minutes. This will allow the dessert to firm up enough so that it easily comes out of the pan, but it won’t actually freeze the lush.

    I don’t normally embrace desserts that have so many processed ingredients. But I was having a pumpkin spice craving and I didn’t want to turn on the oven. It was super easy to assemble and it was quite tasty. In my head, I justified making this one because it had a “vegetable” in it! :OP
