We Love Layered Desserts!
Some of the most popular dessert recipes on this site involve pumpkin, especially during November around Thanksgiving, which tells me you guys LOVE pumpkin!
This layered Pumpkin Lasagna (aka Pumkin Lush) is loved for so many reasons:
- Easy to make. It may look fancy, but it is very simple to put together.
- Perfect for fall. From the pumpkin to the spices, every bite is a taste of Autumn.
- Customizable. Switch up the crust, adjust the spices, or decorate the top in different delicious ways.
It’s very similar to the White Chocolate Lasagna and Lemon Lasagna I’ve posted on the site – it’s just a pumpkin version.
Ingredients
- Golden Oreos
- Pumpkin Oreos – Use more Golden Oreos with pumpkin pie spice or use crushed gingersnaps.
- unsalted butter
- cream cheese
- powdered sugar
- Cool Whip – substitute Homemade Whipped Cream
- instant pumpkin pudding – It must be instant pudding otherwise it will not set correctly.
- milk – Use whole milk for the creamiest texture.
- white chocolate bar – Or vanilla candy coating to make the decorative curls.
Pro Tip!
A standard package of Oreos is 14.3 ounces. From the package, 2 rows contain about 30 Oreo Cookies which weigh about 10 ounces.
How to Make Pumpkin Lush
- CRUST. Crush Oreos in a food processor or Ziploc baggie and add your melted butter. Mix until it is well combined.
- Press into the bottom of a 9×13 pan spreading out to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
- CHEESECAKE LAYER. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and ½ of the cool whip. Mix well and pour over your Oreo Crust.
- PUDDING LAYER. In another bowl, make your pudding by adding the milk to a bowl and the instant pudding. Whisk together until pudding thickens. Pour over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes.
- GARNISH. Top off with the rest of your Cool Whip. Add white chocolate shavings.
- ENJOY! Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. ENJOY!
Homemade Pumpkin Pudding
If you have a hard time finding instant pumpkin spice pudding mix, here is a homemade recipe:
- 1 (5.1 ounce) vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk (do not add extra milk)
- 1 (15 ounce) can of pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Mix pudding mix and evaporated milk together and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Add puree and Pumpkin Pie Spice and whisk together.
- Add milk until you get your desired texture. Start with ½ cup milk and mix up to 1½ cups milk. Do not mix in the full 3 cups of milk or it will be soup. Use for the pumpkin pudding layer in this pumpkin dessert lasagna.
Recipe Tips
This recipe for pumpkin lasagna is simple, with beautiful layers that you definitely want to see!
- Mixing. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to mix the different layers.
- Whipped cream. Use heavy cream and powdered sugar to make Homemade Whipped Cream to use in place of store-bought Cool Whip.
- Chocolate curls. Shave the sides of the chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler which makes beautiful curls.
- Make Ahead + Store. This pumpkin lush can be made 24 hours in advance. Just cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Notes
CAN’T FIND THE PUMPKIN PUDDING MIX??
Omit the instant pumpkin pudding mixes and 3 cups of milk and you can use this homemade recipe to make the pumpkin pudding layer.
- 1 (5.1-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- I’d use Golden Oreos and add a little bit of Pumpkin Pie Spice OR use crushed Gingersnaps
- A graham cracker or gingersnap crust on this dessert would be great too.

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!
