Print Recipe

A no-bake Halloween dessert featuring layers of silky pumpkin cream cheese filling and crushed Oreo ‘dirt’, topped with candy corn and chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 can (15 ounces) 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (24 cookies) original Oreo cookies
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream, cold (optional)
  • Candy corn for decoration
  • Mini chocolate chips for decoration
  • Green frosting or candy worms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed to resemble wet sand. Transfer crumbs to a bowl and set aside.
  2. Cut cream cheese into cubes and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until softened. Do not melt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides.
  4. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat on low speed just until combined.
  5. Add pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Switch to medium speed and beat until the mixture is uniform in color (pale orange).
  6. In clear cups, spoon a layer of Oreo crumbs (about 2 tablespoons) into the bottom.
  7. Add a layer of the pumpkin cream mixture. Repeat layers until the cup is full.
  8. Top with a generous layer of Oreo crumbs to look like dirt.
  9. Decorate with mini chocolate chips and candy corn.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not overmix after adding pumpkin to prevent air incorporation. For best texture, add Oreo topping just before serving to keep it crunchy. Can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
