Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dessert

“This light and delicious three layered pumpkin dessert is a nice alternative to pumpkin pie. An easy to make graham cracker crust forms the foundation for cream cheese and pumpkin layers topped with whipped cream. This recipe contains raw eggs. We recommend that pregnant women, young children, the elderly and the infirm do not consume raw eggs.”

I liked this but my family didn't. They wanted real pumpkin pie, and this was too light and the crust was strange, not crispy enough I guess. After two days in the frig it started to separate and get watery too.

Yummy! I just made this for our Thanksgiving lunch at church and it turned out wonderful. I thought about following the suggestion about substituting cool whip, but was afraid to vary from the original recipe. I doubled the recipe and and made two large desserts. It turned out to be more than enough for a crowd. Everyone raved about how good it was and wanted the recipe. It was pretty simple to make (just make sure to cool all of the layers COMPLETELY before adding the next...I put them in the freezer to help cool it faster). The only con was that it really did take 3 hours to make, so it is not a quick throw together dessert. I will definitely be making this again.

Absolutely loved this recipe! I used whip cream instead of egg whites as well and it was a hit - definitely something I bring to Thanksgiving!

This recipe definitely makes my top desert list. Everyone loved it and it may be my favorite desert. I'm curious to try substituting the egg whites next time. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

In step 6, you have 2 steps. One that includes the saucepan mix and another that is the egg white mix. VERY CONFUSING! Recipe was a disaster. Especially last step, topping the dessert with whip cream, it totally melted and got chunky, it was a mess!

This was an awesome dessert. I served it to 3 men who loved, loved, loved it. I work as a first mate on a 110 foot yacht and all 3 guys think that the chef should add this to her menu for guests. I don't even like pumpkin pie but this is totally different!

My mom has been making this same recipe for over 25 years, and it is always a favorite among friends and family during the Holidays. I'm making it myself for the first time this year. Just a side note, the raw egg whites have Never caused any problems to anyone, to those who may be worried about them.

I love this recipe but to make it a little easier/faster i use a no bake creamcheese layer and people seem to like it more acutally. It's just 1 8oz softend creamcheese, 1 container cool whip, mix well and add sugar to desired sweetness and follow the rest of the recipe. At our family gatherings its the first dessert gone.lol.
