This pumpkin dessert is delicious! Even people who don’t like pumpkin pie have said that they love this. This dessert is quick & easy to make and requires only a five ingredients. It would be a great alternative (or addition) to your traditional Thanksgiving dessert table. The pumpkin filling is mixed with marshmallows – a combination that sounds a little weird but trust me when I say it is so good!
Pumpkin Dessert Recipe:
- 2 cups (500ml) pumpkin pie filling
- 1 bag mini marshmallows (or 16 large marshmallows)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 small carton heavy whipping cream (35%)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt marshmallows with pumpkin. Stir constantly because it can burn easily.
- Melt the butter in the microwave in a medium bowl.
- Add graham cracker crumbs to butter and stir to mix.
- Press ¾ of the graham cracker & butter mix into the bottom of a 9 x 9 pan.
- Top with pumpkin & marshmallow mixture.
- Top with remaining graham cracker mixture.
- Beat heavy cream and vanilla on high until soft peaks form.
- Once the pumpkin mixture is cool, top with whipped cream.
- Store in refrigerator.
This pumpkin dessert will get gobbled up fast! It always does in our house.
