Notes
There are a few variations you can do with this dessert. I’ve made it with with a graham cracker crust and with a gingersnap crust—both were fabulous, so it’s just kind of a personal preference.
Feel free to use two boxes of the pumpkin spice pudding instead of one pumpkin spice and one white chocolate. Again, I’ve made it both ways and both are fabulous. Some of my boys like pumpkin, but don’t love it, so when I combine the two flavors, it kind of mellows the intensity of the pumpkin flavor.
If you’re not worried about adding any “extra” calories, you can replace the cool whip on top with fresh, sweetened whipped cream (soooo goood!) It does last a few more days in the fridge with Cool Whip, but this is so good, you probably won’t have any leftovers.
