Instructions

Making the Dessert

  • Prepare the crust by crushing Golden Oreos or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and press into a 9×13-inch dish. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in one-third of the whipped topping and spread over the chilled crust.
  • In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, pudding mix, and cold milk until thickened. Spread this pumpkin layer over the cream cheese layer.
  • Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pumpkin layer for a fluffy finish.
  • Optional: Sprinkle mini M&Ms or chocolate shavings on top for decoration.
  • Chill the entire dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an added touch of fall flavor.
