Thanksgiving Pumpkin Slush Cake image

If you have had lemon lush or chocolate dream dessert, this is the pumpkin alternative. It is a great recipe to use as an alternative to pumpkin pie. It feels less filling when you are filled with Thanksgiving turkey and sides!

Time 4h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¼ cups chopped pecans, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
2 (8 ounce) containers whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), divided
1 ½ cups canned pumpkin
1 ½ cups milk
½ cup brown sugar
2 (3 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
1 ¾ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir 1 cup pecans, flour, butter, white sugar, and 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar together until crumbly. Press pecan mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake pecan crust in the preheated oven until golden, 20 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Fold 1 1/2 cups whipped topping into cream cheese mixture. Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled pecan crust.
  • Beat pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, vanilla pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl with an electric mixer until mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold in 4 ounces whipped topping. Spread pumpkin mixture in a layer over the cream cheese mixture.
  • Spread remaining whipped topping over the pumpkin mixture layer. Sprinkle cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup pecans over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

This recipe has way too much sugar in it. I'm going to have to reduce it by at least half.
