Especially when it’s a no-bake, six ingredient dessert that’s ready in no time.
Get ready for ALL of the pumpkin recipes, because I’ve got some tasty, decadent, and creative recipes to share with you this fall. With a name like Pumpkin ‘N Spice, I have to live up to that, right?
And just to enlighten you about my blog name, I do love pumpkin (trust me, probably more so than the average person!), but the name Pumpkin ‘N Spice isn’t so much for my love of pumpkin, but because of a nickname I had growing up from my aunt. She always called me (and still does!) “punkin” with an “n” so when I started this blog a few years ago, she actually suggested this name. How cute is that?
So, “pumpkin” kind of stuck with me all these years. From my very first AOL email address and instant messenger name (am I showing my age?), to other screen names and nicknames, I’ve always used pumpkin. Just thought I’d share a little history with you before we dive into the recipe!
This {No-Bake} Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Icebox Cake is an easy fall dessert that’s layered with graham crackers, pumpkin spiced whipped cream, and chocolate chips. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep time, this dish is the perfect combination of pumpkin and chocolate!
I’m sure you’ve probably had (or at least heard) of icebox cake before, but have you tried a pumpkin icebox cake? Let me tell you, it’s dangerously addicting.
Icebox cakes are a favorite of mine for summer, but don’t forget that they work perfectly for fall, too! After all, who doesn’t love a no-bake treat, especially when pumpkin is involved?
When I got the idea to create this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Icebox Cake, I couldn’t wait to test it out. I’ve made a No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle before, as well as a Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip, but an icebox cake? Nope. So, I had to change that.
I was originally going to swirl the pumpkin spiced whipped cream with caramel sauce, but, I had a bag of chocolate chips just staring at me, so in they went. And I’m glad they did…chocolate and pumpkin are the perfect pair!
This {No-Bake} Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Icebox Cake starts with a layer of honey graham crackers, and then it’s topped with whipped cream, sweetened with pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice, and followed by a sprinkling of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Simply repeat the layers and pop the dish into the refrigerator to set. Easy peasy!
One bite and you’ll want to devour the entire dish in one sitting. The creamy pumpkin spiced cream and sweet chocolate chips provide the perfect filling for honey graham crackers. It’s light, sweet, and just screams fall. What could be better than that?

This ice box cake sounds perfect for the warm fall weather we have right now, and I can’t wait to see all the other recipes you have up your sleeve. Happy Fall!
Thank you, Marcie! I’m sure that’s what most people think, so I’ve kept a pretty good secret! 🙂

Thanks, Sarah! Yay for pumpkin season! 🙂
How cute is your aunt!? I actually call my daughter punpkin too. It’s totally a girly nickname. Love that you named your blog after it too. I had no idea. I love no bake treats but I always forget to make them. I have to make this one. It looks so good. And love that you added the chocolate chips. Chocolate and pumpkin go hand in hand. 🙂
Thank you, Cyndi! And yay for punkin! 🙂 I’m hooked on no-bake cakes!
I love that story about where the blog name came from. Cute!
And who says icebox cakes are only for summer? I love the graham, pumpkin, and chocolate together.
Thanks for the sweet comment, Amanda!
I was thinking that this is your namesake time of year – what fun! And you are doing the pumpkin name proud with this icebox cake (I do love me some icebox cake!). Pinning and happy pumpkin everything!
Thanks, Kate!
No bake and only 6 ingredients…this is my kind of recipe! This ice box cake looks amazing! I love the reason behind the name of your blog- aunts nicknames are the best lol
Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by! Aunt nicknames are definitely the best! 🙂
I LOVE this!! It’s the perfect dessert for when you are ready for Fall but the days are still warm! Saving this for later!
Exactly, Alaina! Thanks for the sweet comment!
My fiance calls me PUMPKIN sometimes and … Even though it is kind of associated with little kids (much like your nick name), I kind of LOVE IT!! Because, like you, I LOVE pumpkin! SADLY – my digestive system doesn’t really like it too much anymore, probably because when I sit down to eat some… I eat WAYYYYYY too much, hahahha – but oh well, I LOVE IT REGARDLESS!
Pumpkin is such a fun nickname! Sorry to hear that it’s hard for you to eat pumpkin, but it is hard to resist! 🙂
