This cozy dessert layers pumpkin, white chocolate, and cinnamon into one stunning treat, packing all the warm flavors of the season into every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream
  • 1 pkg Salted Vanilla Dessert Mix
  • ½ cup (125 mL) white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 can (15 oz./540 mL) pumpkin puree
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) Cinnamon Plus® Spice Blend, plus more for garnishing
  • 1   prepared pumpkin bread (about 20 oz./570 g), cut into cubes (see cook’s tip)
  •  Optional: Caramel sauce, crushed gingersnap cookies

Directions

  1. Add the cream and dessert mix to the Deluxe Stand Mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Set to WHIP for 2 minutes and 45 seconds.
  2. Stir ¼ cup (60 mL) of the cream mixture into the melted white chocolate to temper. Add the mixture back to the stand mixer bowl. Set to CUSTOM speed 2 for 30 seconds.
  3. Remove 2 cups (500 mL) of the mixture and set aside.
  4. Add the pumpkin and cinnamon to the stand mixer and set to CUSTOM speed 2 for 45 seconds, or until combined.
  5. Place half of the pumpkin bread in the 2.5-qt. (2.5-L) Insulated Serving Bowl. Spread the pumpkin mixture on top.
  6. Top with the remaining pumpkin bread. Dollop the reserved cream mixture on top and spread to smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or up to overnight (see cook’s tip).
  7. Garnish with a drizzle of caramel, cinnamon, or crushed gingersnap cookies before serving, if you’d like.

Cook's Tips:

You can use a different cake for this recipe! Spice cake, coffee cake, or pound cake are all delicious options.

Tempering the white chocolate with the whipped cream mixture helps it blend in smoothly and evenly without seizing or hardening.

You can serve this dessert right away—but it’s even better chilled. It’ll firm up in the fridge and the flavors will develop even more.
