Well I discovered the art of pumpkin carving while I was in the Poconos. Guess what else I discovered, you can make awesome desserts while on vacation. Tis true folks while carving pumpkins I started thinking about Pumpkin desserts. How about a No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse, self serve style.
So now that pumpkin carving is over what do you do with the innards and seeds? Many people make pies or baked goods, they also season and bake the seeds. Me, sadly I tossed it but still made a fun pumpkin recipe. Don’t yell I did compost the inards I just did not want to spend all my vacay in the kitchen.(even though it was a great kitchen).
No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse
Creating a Thanksgiving pumpkin inspired dessert was on my mind. Plus creating something simple and easy while on the road seemed appropriate. I mean honestly why have a condo with a full kitchen if you don’t plan on using it. This fun mousse is something you can whip up before you start the daily activities on the resort.
Thinking of maybe zip lining or horseback riding? Enjoying the daily activities yet coming back to your condo for a quiet evening doesn’t mean fast food or dining out. Planning a family dinner with a fun dessert can still be part of your vacation plans. And as an FYI way less expensive than any restaurant.
Which family member isn’t going to be amazed when you pull these out of the fridge? Plus you can prep and have them ready before they even wake up in the morning.
What you will need for the No Bake Cheesecake
- 1 can Pumpkin Puree
- 1 can Eagle Brand condensed milk
- 1 pkg vanilla pudding
- 1 block cream cheese
- 1-2 tbsp Pumpkin spice
- 10-12 ginger snaps
- 1 tub cool whip
- cinnamon sticks
- mini mason jars with lids
How to make the cheesecake mixture
- Mix all ingredients together except ginger snaps and chill.
- Crush ginger snap cookies and layer into the bottom of jars.

- if you prefer add half the mixture more gingersnaps and then more pumpkin
- Then top with whipped topping
- add more crust ginger snaps and even some caramel sauce if you wish
- insert a cinnamon stick
- Serve and enjoy!
Note: don’t add the garnish and just screw the jar lids on and store in fridge. They will last up to one week.
Hope you enjoy this fun and tasty dessert
