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.

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.

About how many grams/cups would 2 rows of Oreos equal? I’d rather use ginger snaps and have no idea how many is equivalent. Thanks!
Erin, You probably do not need this info anymore, but maybe another person will: 2 rows of Oreos is about 10 ounces.
Amazing! We loved this recipe! It was gone fast! I fed my parents and gave some to my neighbor and they even asked for the recipe! This will definitely go in my recipe book. Thanks again!
Hooray!! So happy to hear that. Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
stayed as a pudding consistency
Sorry to hear that! It should have set up a bit more for you. But thanks for giving the recipe a try and for the feedback.
I’ve made this before and had the 2 packages of instant pumpkin pudding mix. I got 2 on Amazon, but had to use one at Thanksgiving.
Question: I have 1 pumpkin pudding mix and one vanilla. I’m a little confused about the amounts of other ingredients to use. Can you help?
You can definitely use a pumpkin pudding and vanilla pudding mix. The flavor would be slightly different, but still really yummy I imagine! As far as amount of other ingredients, they are all listed out in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. Hopefully they are pretty easy to determine. The “rows” of Oreos just mean the rows from the package. The unsalted butter (8 Tbsp) is one stick. The cream cheese (8 oz) is one brick. The butter (1/2 cup) is also one stick. Hopefully that helps a little!
Absolutely incredible! Also, love how simple the recipe is.
Very good
Such a delicious Thanksgiving dessert!
So easy to make and so yummy! This was a hit with everyone!!
This couldn’t be an easier dish with the instant pudding and Graham cracker crust. A must save for your last minute dessert!
I made this using the recipe for pumpkin pudding because I could find pumpkin pudding at the store. I must not need to add the 3 cups of milk if I use evaporated milk, correct? This recipe is confusing when it comes to that.
Yes, that’s correct. The homemade pumpkin pudding will take place of the instant pudding box mixed with the milk. So yes, just the evaporated milk called for in the homemade pudding recipe. 🙂
I wish i read the comments first…i added the milk with the evaporated milk for the pudding mixture…but..my husband is a quick thinker we scraped off the runny mess i made and added more vanilla pudding and pumpkin spice with the mixture and voila seems fixed. At least now i know lol.
What a good thinker!! Hope the lasanga turned out!
