Deconstruct The Pumpkin Pie Into These Tasty Desserts

If you’re looking for an alternative to pumpkin pie this year, try one of these other alternative pumpkin desserts! You’ll get all of the goodness of that pumpkin spice flavor without the hassle of making a pie!

Pumpkin Lasagna

Have no fear – there’s no pasta or marinara sauce involved in this tasty dessert, just layers of tasty pumpkin pudding and cream cheese! This dessert couldn’t be quicker or easier to make.  You can use pumpkin spice pudding mix or make your own pumpkin spice pudding by combining vanilla pudding mix, evaporated milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. The rest of the lasagna is made from crushed cookies, whipped cream, and cream cheese mixed with powdered sugar!

Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes

Everything tastes better when it’s miniature, right? These mini pumpkin cheesecakes sure do! These bite-sized desserts bake in a mini cheesecake pan and have a real cheesecake filling. The crust at the bottom of each cheesecake is made from crushed gingersnaps, butter, sugar, pecans, and a graham cracker. If you don’t have a mini cheesecake pan, don’t sweat it  – you can use a mini muffin tin lined with mini cupcake liners.

Pumpkin Roll

Pumpkin rolls are a fall staple and would make a delicious replacement for pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving. The cake is a simple batter that comes together and bakes in just a few minutes since it’s so thin. While the finished cake is still hot from the oven, it gets rolled in a clean tea towel to get the roll shape while it cools. After the cake is completely cool, you’ll spread the cream cheese filling over the unrolled cake then roll it back up into its final pumpkin roll form.
