Pumpkin Cheesecake Lasagna -also known as pumpkin delight or pumpkin lust cake. The base starts out with a graham cracker crust, then on top is a cream cheese filling, topped with a pumpkin cheesecake filling. Then the whole thing gets topped with whipped cream and chopped pecans. Yum! The perfect fall dessert.
I started dreaming up this recipe a couple months ago when I made this Chocolate Lasagna recipe. I knew I had to make a version for fall and pumpkin was the first thing that came to mind. I thought about using golden Oreos, but knew that a thick graham cracker crust would taste so much better. I am all about the thick crust! The brown sugar and cinnamon addition adds the perfect touch to this recipe!
If you like pumpkin cheesecake, I think you will really love this dessert! It’s a yummy twist! There are a few different steps that take a little bit longer, but it’s totally worth it!
YUM! Dig in!
