Another pumpkin recipe!? I know, I know. I think I’m making up for the fact that I didn’t do much baking with pumpkin last year thanks to our tiny little bundle of joy. Clearly I’m more than making up for it this year since I cannot help but incorporate pumpkin into everything! I’m 99 percent sure this will be my last pumpkin recipe this year and since it’s the Final Pumpkin Recipe of 2016, you better believe it’s a good one!
Back in the heat of the summer, I shared a recipe for a deliciously indulgent gluten-free double chocolate no bake ice box cake. The recipe name is a mouthful but it could not be any easier to make and when I signed up to contribute a dessert for last Saturday’s chili cookoff, the icebox cake immediately popped into my mind. And then I had an idea… Could I pumpkinify the recipe and make a pumpkin icebox cake? (Let’s just pretend pumpkinify is a word.)
I had a feeling it would be a really easy recipe to morph into a festive fall dessert and rushed off to the grocery store after my workout on Saturday morning to pick up all the goods I needed to transform the recipe.
I began by making the whipped cream. Once the soft peaks formed, I added pumpkin puree and cinnamon to the whipped cream and W-O-W it was amazing! Why have I never made cinnamon pumpkin whipped cream before!? (FYI, I used a little bit of the leftover pumpkin whipped cream in my morning coffee and it was unreal. Do it!)
Now here’s where the recipe gets fun! Please tell me you share my intense love for Biscoff cookies? They’re SO good!
When I was traveling to Florida with Chase a week ago, I said “no thank you” when the flight attendant asked if I wanted a drink. This did NOT mean “no” to the Biscoff cookies, however, and when the flight attended rolled the cart away, I found myself sinking into my seat in cookieless despair.
And then Chase saved the day! He saw the woman next to us open her cookies and started saying “Mo! Mo!” (his version of “more”) on repeat which caused the flight attendant to turn around and hand me a pack of the cookies. Hey thanks, Chase! Way to go buddy!
Okay, back to the recipe.
Once I opened two packs of Biscoff cookies (and inhaled a couple in the process), I layered the cinnamon pumpkin whipped cream with the cookies to create a tasty pumpkin ice box cake that got rave reviews from everyone at Saturday’s chili cookoff. I knew I had to make it again on Sunday to photograph for the blog so I could share it with you guys! If you’re looking for a fast dessert you can whip up for Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving, keep this one on your radar!
Pumpkin Icebox Cake

Description
This pumpkin icebox cake is a sweet and creamy dessert that is easy to make and overflowing with cinnamon and pumpkin flavor. Simply whip up a batch of homemade cinnamon pumpkin whipped cream and layer it with Biscoff cookies for a festive fall dessert everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 (8.8 oz) packages Biscoff cookies
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer or an electric mixer fitted with the whipping attachment, whip heavy whipping cream in a large bowl on low speed while gradually adding powdered sugar. Gradually increase speed as whipped cream thickens. Whip until cream is thick enough to hold its shape but not lumpy. Add pumpkin puree and cinnamon and whip until combined.
- Spread a thin layer of whipped cream into the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish. Layer Biscoff cookies on top of the whipped cream (you may need to break a couple of cookies to get them to fit). Spread another layer of whipped cream and top with another layer of the cookies. Spread a final layer of whipped cream on top. Crush more cookies and sprinkle on top of the whipped cream.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight or for at least five hours to give the cookies time to soften a bit. When ready to serve, slice into icebox cake and serve immediately.
Notes
Note: Though I am partial to Biscoff cookies, I also think Gingersnaps, Snickerdoodles or another crispy ginger, cinnamon or vanilla cookie would work well in this recipe.

Confession, I have only used pumpkin once this year so far and I have never made an icebox cake. I need to get on this asap!
LOVEEEE icebox cake so much! It’s the perfect easy dessert! I’ve never tried a pumpkin version though, so this is definitely going at the top of my to-make list! 🙂 Thanks for sharing Julie! 😀
This looks amazing and so easy! I wish they would sell pumpkin puree in stores here, but I would definitely consider making it myself just for this recipe.
omg this looks awesome! I will have to make a GF/dairy free version but i bet it will be so good with coconut whip!
Have you ever tried Pamela’s GF Graham crackers? I bet those with the coconut whip would be a great combo. Those graham crackers are addictive!
YES!!! I love those!! 😀 Great idea–ill definitely use that for the cookie!
Oh man that sounds wonderful!!!!
I’m not the dessert maker in the family, but I’m thinking I might have to make this now 🙂
Biscoff cookies are soo good! I remember as kid calling them “Delta cookies” as you could only get them on delta flights. I always saved the package too as it had a number you could call to order them, however, my parents would never let me order! Then I saw them at the store… so happy!!
Haha!! I knew them as the Delta cookies, too!!
that looks so good! I’m all about easy recipes and will definitely try this!
Please tell me you have tried the Biscoff cookie spread! Life changing.
YES! I actually used it to make a Biscoff milkshake once and it was UNREAL.
You had me at Biscoff!! This sounds so simple and delicious!
I heart Biscoff! I am traveling for Christmas and looking forward to the treat. Plus, I have been looking for a Thanksgiving dessert and this came at a perfect time!
yummm! I love pumpkin anything!!
This looks so good! I am going to a potluck tonight and was searching for an easy dessert to bring….Looks like I just found it!
Woohoo! Hope you love it!
Where does one buy biscoff cookies?? I have never seen them in any stores!
Publix and Target both sell them!
you can also order them on Amazon if you can’t find them near you! 🙂
Icebox cakes are my jam – and this one looks extra delicious!
I see no reason why pumpkin should not be enjoyed year-round… and I’ll be sharing a recipe on Monday to support you in that mission sistah! 🙂

Amaze – you better belive im making this!
I have loved all of your icebox cakes! I’ll have to ice this one a try soon. Thanks, Julie!!!
Oops! Give this one a try… not ice. Darn autocorrect!
Omg those cookies are the best. Chase totally had your back.
He’s a good one! 🙂
This looks amazing! I heart Biscoff cookies and cookie butter!
We have a similar icebox recipe for Christmas using dark chocolate wafer cookies and homemade whipped cream. It is such a fun tradition, and delicious =)
OMG I loooooooooooooooooooove Biscoff cookies! I never had them before I started flying Delta (over 10 plus years ago), and they gave them to me on a flight. Ever since that point, whenever we’re on a plane, my husband gets extra cookies and gives them to me. 🙂 He’s a keeper, for sure! We now have them at home all the time.
Anyhow, I am ALL IN on this dessert! I’m having my own Friends Thanksgiving this weekend! It’s our umpteenth year (yes, we’ve been doing this into the umpteens now.) Can’t wait! Thanks for this recipe, I’m so excited about this! woo hoo!
I don’t think I’ve ever tried an icebox cake (I know), but this would definitely be the first one I’d want to try.
By the way, I think there are NEVER too many pumpkin recipes between September and November. I don’t think I’m alone! Once December hits, though, I can see it toning down though.
Um, yum! May have to make this as a treat for thanksgiving!
this looks so easy and delicious! I have an event this weekend and will try it out!
Thank you so much for sharing this ingenious idea! It’s delicious!
That cake looks like mango float! and delicious too! Will have to try this!
Delicious! That cake looks like mango float! 🙂 Thanks! Have a nice day!
OMG! My awesome sis-in-law made this for our Thanksgiving feast and it was beyond wonderful. Costco was out of Biscoff (stop the madness) so she substituted with Trader Joes speculoos cookies and it was one of my favorite desserts in some time! Thanks for the great recipe.
So glad it was a hit!!! Thank you for letting me know! <3
The pumpkin cake is awesome, it maybe less fat than chocolate, thanks for sharing the recipe.
This is just awesome.
this recipe was so good! planning to make it for thanksgiving this year, too!
This recipe was so good and so easy! It has the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor, and Biscoff cookies are always a favorite. I think it will be our go to Thanksgiving dessert from now on!
so happy to hear it!! and thanks so, so much for leaving a review <3 <3
Hi! Any idea how long in advance this could be made? Thanks!
I would stick with 48 hours or less just so the cookies do not get too mushy and still hold a little bit of shape!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! Doubled it to fit in a 9×13 and had extra cookies/whipped cream leftover. I also added heath toffee bits to one layer and the top with the crumbled cookies for some extra crunch.
