Instructions

Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Prepare Pumpkin Layer: In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until well mixed.
Soak Cake Layers: In a shallow bowl, combine milk with 1/2 cup whipped topping. Cut the spice cake into cubes and gently soak them in the milk mixture until lightly moistened.
Assemble Lasagna: In a 9×9-inch dish, layer half of the soaked cake cubes. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the cake, then half of the pumpkin mixture. Spread 1/2 cup of whipped topping on top. Repeat layers with remaining cake cubes, cream cheese mixture, pumpkin mixture, and whipped topping. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow layers to set and flavors to meld.
Serve: Sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy chilled.

Notes

Add a layer of caramel sauce between pumpkin and cream cheese layers for extra sweetness.

Use chocolate or gingerbread cake instead of spice cake for a different flavor profile.

Garnish with chopped pecans, toasted coconut, or chocolate shavings for added texture.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dessert is meant to be served chilled and tastes better after the flavors meld overnight.
