FLUFFY PUMPKIN ICEBOX CAKE

We have not made many pumpkin recipes in our house yet this year, so the other night I planned on making pumpkin fluff dip, one of our favorite fall treats that we’ve been making for years.  As I grabbed the can of pumpkin from the pantry I spotted a few boxes of chocolate wafer cookies when it occurred to me……why not make the pumpkin fluff into an icebox cake?!

It’s just as delectable as it sounds. When a fluffy pumpkin spice mousse is sandwiched between chocolate wafer cookies and allowed to set overnight until the cookies become as soft as cake, well that, my friends, is pure heaven.

WHAT IS PUMPKIN FLUFF

Pumpkin fluff is a recipe I found years ago on a weight watchers message board.  We’ve always made it with sugar-free instant pudding mix, 1% low-fat milk and Cool-Whip Lite to make a tasty dip that was easy on the hips.  This Pumpkin Fluff Icebox cake can be made either way – use all lite or full-fat version of the ingredients.

This icebox cake starts with our favorite fall treat pumpkin fluff, which can be eaten with just a spoon, or as a dip with your favorite cookie.  Check out how easy it is to whip up.

Pumpkin Icebox Cake

Yield: 6-8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 8 hours
Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes

Pumpkin Icebox Cake is a delicious no-bake dessert that comes together in no time. The hardest part is leaving it in the refrigerator over night.

Ingredients

  • 2 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2  (1.5oz) vanilla or butterscotch Instant Pudding Mix (I prefer butterscotch)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2  (8oz) CoolWhip
  • 2 boxes chocolate wafer cookies (Famous Wafers)
  • candied pecans

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whip milk and pudding mix until well combined. Add pumpkin and spice and blend until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
  2. Using a 9-inch springform pan, arrange chocolate cookies to cover the bottom of the pan (this will require breaking up some of the cookies - it's ok for some to overlap)
  3. Scoop 1/3 of the pumpkin fluff mixture onto the cookies and using an offset spatula, gently spread it evenly over the cookies.
  4. Top with another layer of cookies, and 1/2 of the remaining pumpkin fluff - repeat with a 3rd layer of cookies and remaining pumpkin fluff.
  5. Garnish the top with candied pecans.
  6. Gently cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator at least 8 hours or overnight so the cookies soften making a cake-like texture.
  7. To serve, release cake from pan, cut into wedges and serve cold.
