Who's a Twinkie lover? I've got a no-bake Twinkie pumpkin pie dessert for you today. It's actually from the book The Twinkies Cookbook which is loaded with easy and simple sweet and savory recipes. It's getting close to pumpkin season, so I couldn't resist! I wanted to review this book for you and so I had the perfect opportunity. I just love fall and all the desserts that come with it!
The cookbook is the Twinkies 85th Anniversary Edition (aff. link). It's packed full of new sweet and savory recipes. Okay, so this is a little off-subject. All I can think about when I eat or even talk about a Twinkie is the movie Zombieland with Woody Harrelson. All the poor man wanted was a Twinkie. I have days like this, so I understand. Yeah, told you it was off subject.
Back to the cookbook, the recipes are really easy and simple. Most of the recipes only call for about 6-7 ingredients. You'll find a lot of the recipes needing things like pudding, whipped cream, boxed mixes and of course Twinkies. So, if you're a shortcut kind of baker, this is the ticket for you.
I'll be honest. I thought this book was actually going to be about how to make variations of Twinkies. My mistake. However, I did find a new recipe that my husband can't possibly live without. First of all, he's a pumpkin lover. Second of all, he's so into snack cakes. This was a perfect treat for him.
No-Bake Twinkie Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients
- 10 Twinkies halved lengthwise
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Line the Twinkie halves in a 9x13 pan. Place the cut side up.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until well incorporated.

- In a separate mixing bowl, add in the 2 packages of pudding, pumpkin, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice and milk. If you can't find the pumpkin spice pudding, use two boxes of vanilla. Mix until smooth. Spread evenly on the cream cheese layer. Be sure to take it to all of the edges and corners.
