Four layers of goodness are made with the simplest ingredients. This luscious Pumpkin Delight is what I decided to make this fast-approaching Halloween. I usually host a party at my house every Halloween. It’s my favourite day because the kids get to put on their fave costumes. But this year, I want to try something new. No glamorous parties just a simple get-together with family and friends. And this delightful dessert without any doubt will be a huge hit! Simple, incredibly easy whip up with a crunchy pecan crust topped with creamy pumpkin, cream cheese, and whipped cream layers.

1 cup flour
½ cup butter softened
¾ cup pecans chopped
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 cup powdered sugar
3 cups whipped topping divided
2 ½ cups milk
3 pkg white chocolate (or vanilla) instant pudding mix (3.4 ounces size)
15 ounces can pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN DELIGHT
Layer 1:
Combine the flour with butter and half a cup of pecans until well mixed. Into a greased 9 x 9-inch or 9 x 13-inch pan, press the mixture. Place in a 350 degrees oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven when done and allow the mixture to cool. If want to make a thicker crust and using a 9 x 13-inch pan, simply add an extra half cup of flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
Layer 2:
Blend the cream cheese with powdered sugar, then add a cup of the whipped topping. Over the cooled crust, spread this mixture.
Layer 3:
Whisk the milk with the pudding mix, canned pumpkin, pumpkin spice, and a cup of whipped topping until smooth. Spread this on top of the second layer.
Layer 4:
Lastly, spread on top the rest of the whipped topping, then sprinkle with pecans. Place in the fridge and chill for at least 3 hours until set. When ready, enjoy chilled.
