Pumpkin Lasagna Cupcakes

You all loved my Pumpkin Lasagna. I shared that recipe two years ago and it’s still one of the most popular recipes on my blog. And why it shouldn’t be?! Pumpkin Lasagna is so simple to make and it taste absolutely delicious!!!

It’s layered dessert with cream cheese, pudding, pumpkin and spice, a lot of whipped cream and toasted pecans or walnuts.

You don’t need a special reason or occasion for this yummy, light and creamy + easy to make dessert recipe!!! It’s enough that you’re a pumpkin lover and have a few simple ingredients on hand. You will spare less than 45 mins of your time and after a few hours of chilling you’ll get absolutely delicious fall dessert on your table. Although the recipe is really simple, this dessert is a perfect fit for holidays or special events. You can serve it for Halloween or after Thanksgiving dinner. Light dessert  would be great after a huge meal.

Today I decided to make a little twist with my old recipe.  As I said, Pumpkin Lasagna is EASY RECIPE, but I thought it could be even simpler than that. If I make it completely NO BAKE and packed it in individual portion, you’ll have less dirty dishes and it would be easier to serve. You don’t need to worry about cutting and serving. Just arrange these delicious Pumpkin Lasagna Cupcakes onto serving plate and you’re done.

You all like my idea of individual portion of PUMKIN PIE, too. In case you missed it make sure that you check my OMG Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes recipe.

Let’s get back to today’s topic- Pumpkin Lasagna Cupcakes!  I promise, it’s super simple and delish recipe! You’ll love every single layer.

It start with everyone’s favorite cookies- Oreo. You’ll have to crush whole Golden Oreo cookies with the filling, stir with melted butter, divide the mixture and press it into the bottoms of cupcake liners. Next is cheesecake layer. It’s simple mixture of cream cheese, sugar and whipped cream, flavored with vanilla extract.

Then comes the star of this dessert- pumpkin layer. For this layer you’ll need instant pudding mix of your choice. You can use vanilla or white chocolate. Prepare it with milk, stir to thicken, mix in pumpkin puree and spices: cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. You can add a few drops of orange food coloring if you want to make it really festive. But the intense of color for this layer pretty much depends of pumpkin puree you use. I used my Homemade Pumpkin Puree and it was very intense in color so I didn’t have to add any artificial stuff.

Top layer is just a simple whipped cream. Many of you don’t like when the recipe calls for Cool Whip, so you can use your homemade whipped cream and pile it high as much as you like.

And that’s all. Place your cupcakes in the fridge to set for a few hours or simply place it in the freezer for 30 mins, if you’re in a hurry. Before serving take yours Pumpkin Lasagna Cupcakes out from the cupcake pan, sprinkle with chopped toasted nuts and you’re done. (Pecans or walnuts pair the best with pumpkin and flavor.)

Enjoy this easy and delicious fall dessert!!!
