Pumpkin desserts are one of my favorite things about fall. As soon as the weather starts cooling down, I’m ready for pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and just about anything flavored with those warm fall spices.
But as much as I love baking, there are plenty of times when I’d rather skip the oven altogether. That’s where no bake pumpkin recipes come in handy.
You still get all that pumpkin flavor in an easy dessert that usually requires very little hands-on time.
They’re especially practical around Thanksgiving. When you’re trying to juggle turkey, casseroles, rolls, and side dishes, oven space is valuable.
Whipping up a few pumpkin desserts without an oven means dessert can be completely taken care of before the cooking rush even begins.

And these treats certainly aren’t limited to Thanksgiving. They’re perfect for potlucks, fall parties, family dinners, or anytime you’re craving something special but don’t feel like baking.
