One of my favorite flavor combinations is chocolate and pumpkin.  And one of our family's absolute favorite desserts is No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Dessert.  So I'm sure you know exactly where my mind went once the Fall pumpkin cravings hit, right?  

Mmm hmmmm ... My mind said, "It makes perfect sense to join these two favorites together!"  Enter ~ this easy No-Bake Chocolate-Pumpkin Icebox Cake.  And oh.  my.  word. is it good.

Easy No-Bake Chocolate-Pumpkin Icebox Cake follows the same concept as the classic No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Dessert our family loves so much.  In the classic version, a creamy mousse-like vanilla pudding mixture is layered with graham crackers.  The layered creation is then chilled overnight, allowing the graham crackers to soften into a creamy cake-like texture.

In this chocolate-pumpkin version, an easy pumpkin mousse is layered with chocolate graham crackers, bringing together that fabulous pumpkin-chocolate flavor combination.  All in the creamy no-bake icebox cake form we love so much in the original.

The cake is then topped with non-dairy whipped topping and pecans, which is a departure from the chocolate-fudge topping of the classic.  Originally, I thought chocolate-fudge topping would be a fantastic finish for the easy No-Bake Chocolate-Pumpkin Icebox Cake ... and did indeed give it a try.  The chocolate topping proved, however, to be ... well ... too  chocolaty.  The fudgy chocolate was simply too overpowering for the pumpkin mousse.

The chocolate graham crackers and pumpkin mousse, topped with non-dairy whipped topping and pecans, however, compliment each other beautifully ... perfectly bringing together the chocolate-and-pumpkin flavor combination I adore.

For us, No-Bake Chocolate-Pumpkin Icebox Cake is a match made in pumpkin lovers' heaven!  And dare I say? ... We like its creamy-comfort deliciousness just as much as the classic.
