Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Layer
- 2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
Pumpkin Pudding Layer
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 (3.4-oz.) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Assembly
- 12 graham cracker sheets, divided
- 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade caramel sauce, divided
- Coarsely chopped roasted pecans, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add heavy cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form, creating a rich, creamy mixture.
- Mix Pumpkin Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture is smooth and thick, ensuring even flavor and texture.
- Layer the Lasagna: In a 13″ x 9″ baking dish, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom. Layer 6 or 7 graham crackers over it, then spread half of the pumpkin pudding mixture. Add half of the remaining cream cheese mixture on top, then drizzle half of the caramel sauce. Repeat the layering process ending with the cream cheese layer, reserving some caramel for serving.
- Chill: Loosely cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Before serving, drizzle the reserved caramel sauce over the top layer and sprinkle with coarsely chopped roasted pecans for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for best richness and texture.
- Let the cream cheese soften fully before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Instant pudding mix helps set the layers without baking.
- Graham crackers absorb moisture for a cake-like consistency, do not soak them beforehand.
- Refrigeration time is essential for firm layers and better flavor integration.
- Top with pecans just before serving to keep them crunchy.
- Can be prepared a day ahead for convenience.
