Perfect for thanksgiving, was so yummy!
Perfect for thanksgiving!
OMG Hands down the best dessert I have ever made. Everyone was raving about it! I used gingersnaps for the bottom crust and added 1/2 tsp more of the pumpkin pie spice! Delicious…
Best thing to hear!! Thank you so much for letting me know that!
I couldn’t find pumpkin pudding. So I’m making homemade version. Do I still need to add the 3 cups milk plus the can of evap milk?
Not sure if you were following the recipe for the homemade on this post or your own, but if you were following the one I shared, you would just use what I listed. You wouldn’t be adding milk. But, it’s hard to know, if you are using your own recipe, since I won’t know what’s in it.
What did you end up doing? Using the evaporated Milk and the 3 cups of regular milk?
If you make your own pumpkin pudding mix, do not use 3 cups of milk when making the pumpkin layer. Cut the milk at least in half. 3 cups of milk made it like soup.
EXcellent !
Did not expect it to be so good!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
You are so welcome! I am so glad you tried it 🙂
What can I use instead of cream cheese? I can’t have dairy. Thank YOU.
Hmm..that’s a good question! I have never left it out. Have you tried googling what good substitutes would be? That would be my suggestion. Have you tried making a dairy free cream cheese?
Wow, wow, wow, this was so so good! Used gingersnap cookies for the crust & the recipe above for the pumpkin LAYER since I couldn’t find the pudding, everyone raved about it, this is a keeper!!
Glad it’s a keeper!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
on the golden oreo do you remove the stuffing in middle of them then you crush up the cookies i can’t fine pumpkin oreos here where i live they are seasonal cookies so you crushed up gloden oreos and gingersnaps together is that how it works
You do leave the cream in. I haven’t tried mixing the golden with gingersnaps, but that might work!
I am an australian. We like to use fresh ingredients, not canned or packaged. i love pumpkin, so how would i make this dessert using fresh cooked and mashed pumpkin? philly cream cheese, no problem, crushed biscuits no problem, but how to make a pumpkin pudding topping please. as far as i know we don’t have pumpkin pudding packaged. i have never seen canned pumpkin here either, but pumpkins are plentiful.
That is a great question. I haven’t tried making fresh pumpkin. I would google or use Pinterest. I’m sorry, I wish I was an expert about making fresh pumpkin filling & pudding.
Try homemade vanilla pudding recipe and add the cooked mashed pumpkin. You may want to make it ahead of time.
Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing!
This site is the best love all the stuff on here
You are so nice!! Thank you for saying that! I am glad you are around!
