Pumpkin Eclair Cake
Description
Pumpkin Eclair Cake assembles quickly by mixing instant French vanilla pudding with milk, canned pumpkin puree, half the whipped topping, and pumpkin pie spice into a smooth filling. The base layer of cinnamon graham cracker squares is arranged in a pan, topped with half of the pumpkin pudding mixture.
A second layer of graham crackers is followed by the remaining pumpkin pudding mixture, then another graham cracker layer. The remaining whipped topping is spread evenly over the top. As the cake chills for at least 4 hours, the pudding sets and the crackers soften to create a dessert with creamy texture combined with spiced graham cracker layers.
Before serving, dusting with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice adds extra flavor and visual appeal. The dessert can be sliced and served chilled as a seasonal treat with smooth pumpkin flavors and a mild crunch from the crackers.
