Pumpkin Spice Layered Lush Recipe
Pumpkin Spice Layered Lush a Seasonal Dessert
This dessert is flexible, so you can prepare it using whatever flavor pudding you enjoy, they're all delicious! For my pumpkin version, I replaced the shortbread crust with a nutty cinnamon laced graham cracker crust, and I added a sprinkle of English toffee bits for a little surprise crunch in the middle. Give it time to chill thoroughly and serve it for a special fall treat, especially nice for your Thanksgiving dessert table.
