What is Pumpkin Icebox Cake?
Pumpkin icebox cake is like a lighter and simpler version of a pumpkin cheesecake! I’m a big fan of icebox cakes because they are so simple to throw together and you can customize them in so many ways. This pumpkin version had to happen! I really wanted to keep things simple this time — the filling is just a mixture of real whipped cream (<— the only way to go), pumpkin puree, and spices. If you wanted to mix things up, you could definitely add some instant vanilla pudding or some cream cheese or throw some candied nuts on top! The options are endless. It is layered with graham crackers, and that’s my kid’s favorite part!
Ingredients in Pumpkin Icebox Cake
This recipe is simple and easy, and so are the ingredients! I’m sure that during the fall season, you have some canned pumpkin on hand; if you do, this recipe is perfect! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Graham Crackers: These will create layers in between the filling mixture. Heavy Whipping Cream: This adds that perfect light and fluffy texture. Powdered Sugar: The powdered sugar sweetens up the cream creating a delightfully sweet flavor. Spices: Cinnamon, ground cloves, and nutmeg are all classic fall spices that complement the pumpkin so well. Vanilla: A splash of vanilla adds a great, subtle flavor to the filling. Pumpkin Puree: You can use one can of pumpkin puree, or you make it from home using this recipe!
How to Make Pumpkin Icebox Cake
As much as the classic pumpkin pie is a big part of many holiday celebrations, this Pumpkin Pie Icebox Cake is an easy option for those who maybe don’t want to bother with pastry or don’t have a lot of extra time on their hands between the turkey, the stuffing, the sides (etc., etc., etc…..) — or maybe those who just want to mix things up!
Mix-Ins: You can try adding some cream cheese or instant vanilla pudding to the filling mixture to change up the taste and texture! Toppings: I love adding nuts to any fall treat! My favorites are pecans, but you could use walnuts, almonds, or any kinds of nuts that you love. I also think you can never go wrong adding in some mini chocolate chips to a pumpkin dessert!
