I think I’ve done it!

Created the perfect dessert to ease from Summer to Fall!

See, this no-bake ‘cake’ is cool and creamy, light and fluffy. No oven required. And that just screams Summer.

BUT, with cinnamon sugar graham crackers, pumpkin spice packed pudding layers and a spiced cream cheese frosting, this dessert has Fall written all over it.

It’s the best of both worlds and it is AMAZING!

Once I realized how easy the Iced Mocha Eclair Cake from a few weeks ago was to make, I’ve had eclair cakes on the brain. (You know I’m a sucker for no bake desserts!) So when I saw pumpkin spice coffee creamer hit the shelf at my grocery store, I knew that a pumpkin spice version of an eclair cake was in order.

And since pumpkin + cream cheese are Fall BFFs, I decided to say bu-bye to chocolate frosting and cover the whole pan in a pumpkin spiced cream cheese frosting.

That my friends, was a delicious decision!!

Why I love this recipe

Every bite is the perfect combo of graham crackers (that magically turn into a soft, cake like layer), ridiculously delicious pumpkin spice fluff and that thick layer of cream cheese frosting.

In my usual “oh man I have to get this out of our house quick” moment of panic that sets in when a dessert is even better than I anticipated, I packed up to-go containers and handed them over to friends who were going to visit their family.

Just a few hours later, I got the text that basically said, “Delicious … enjoyed by all … we need this recipe STAT.”

  5. Spread 1/2 of the pumpkin spice pudding mixture over the crackers.
  6. Add another layer of cinnamon graham crackers.
  7. Spread the remaining 1/2 of the pumpkin spice pudding mixture over the crackers.
