pumpkin cheesecake lasagna topped with pecans and caramel

When you have family over and mouths to feed, spending hours making pumpkin pie isn’t exactly feasible. This over-the-top cheesecake lasagna, though? It takes 30 minutes to throw together, and once it’s assembled, the refrigerator does the rest. It’s the ideal fall dessert for a crowd that will give you all the pumpkin pie essence—no pie crust or turning on the oven required. The best way to finish off this pumpkin dessert? Top with a drizzle of caramel and chopped pecans for the perfect finishing touch.

If you need a make-ahead dessert, this is a great option. I love making this no-bake dessert the night before a busy celebration—some extra time in the refrigerator allows the graham cracker layer to get perfectly soft. Assemble it, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but up to overnight is also great.
