With a little bit of planning, this Pumpkin Icebox Cake will take the cake on Thanksgiving (see what I did there?) Haha. This WW (Weight Watchers) Pumpkin Dessert is a healthier “cake” version of the infamous Pumpkin Pie. In short, it will not disappoint.

Whole Pumpkin Icebox Cake

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, my mouth starts to water thinking about all things pumpkin. That is not an exaggeration.

And while Thanksgiving may look a little different this year since Steve is having surgery on the 16th, we’re unsure as to what the recovery time will entail, but the food must go on. Right? Hee-hee.

My mom is hosting this year and I’m sure she’ll have food brought out to us if need be. So I’m not too worried about it.

However, since I’m on WW, I’ve been on the hunt for delicious pumpkin dessert alternatives.

Ahem. Enter this yummy Pumpkin Icebox Cake.

What is one of your favorite desserts this time of the year? Team Apple? Team Pumpkin? Or Team Cake (in general)? Haha. I love cake, so no judgment.

What are Icebox Cakes?

The Icebox Cake is a layered dessert using a variety of ingredients that include, but are not limited to, cool whip, cream, fruits, wafers, etc. While the refrigerator softens the wafers, the time in the freezer allows the ingredients to firm up for ease of cutting.

How to make Pumpkin Icebox Cake

Ingredients:

Lite Cool Whip
Graham Crackers
Canned Pumpkin Puree
Powdered sugar
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Walnuts, optional

Instructions:

Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together whipped topping, pumpkin, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice and set aside.

Meanwhile, arrange graham cracker squares in the bottom of the bread pan. Spread half of the pumpkin mixture over the graham crackers. Add a layer of cool whip and top with graham cracker squares. Spread the remaining pumpkin mixture over the graham crackers. Top with remaining graham cracker squares. After that, add the remaining whipped topping over the graham crackers.

Last, but certainly not least, cover and refrigerate to soften the graham crackers. Next, freeze the cake before serving to allow for easier slicing.

Remove from the freezer, uncover, and lift the icebox cake out of the pan and onto a platter. In addition, be sure to remove the plastic wrap.

Slice and enjoy.

Notes:

Sprinkle some chopped walnuts on it for a little extra flavor and to add some crunch. Above all, don’t forget to add any additional points for the walnuts if you are tracking for WW (wink-wink).

*This recipe was adapted from a Pumpkin Spice Icebox Cake (WW Recipe).

*Disclosure: Sometimes I work extra hard to make a dish look more appetizing on the plate than it might actually look. So if you’re disappointed with your plated dessert please don’t sweat it. Using a small spatula/turner on the left side of the cake while cutting a slice with your right hand will create a cleaner look.
