If you like pumpkin pie and easy desserts this Pumpkin Panna Cotta Recipe is going to be a new fall favorite!! Panna Cotta originated from Italy and has the texture of a very creamy pudding.

The name means “cooked cream” in Italian since the main ingredient in it is heavy cream… don’t worry, it’s served in small portions! Personally, I like it much better than pudding since it has a much more rich, creamy taste and smooth texture.

I’m pretty proud of how this pumpkin one turned out. It literally tastes like a pumpkin pie, but without the hassle of making one. It has all the delicious spices and pumpkin flavors and then it’s topped with crush almonds, walnuts and garnished with cinnamon! I’m for sure going to make this for Thanksgiving! Recipe below!

What is panna cotta?

Panna cotta is an easy Italian dessert made with cream that is thickened with gelatin. It is easily flavored, often with ingredients like vanilla bean and coffee – in this case, pumpkin.

No Pie Thanksgiving Dessert

Now, I love pumpkin pie as much as the next person, but pumpkin is not just for pie! This creamy dessert is the perfect pie alternative for your Thanksgiving table.

Pumpkin spice dessert

Pumpkin spice is unashamedly the flavor of fall, and this dessert is no different. Made with pumpkin puree, whipping cream and pumpkin pie spice this is an indulgent dessert that’s packed full of creamy goodness.

    The pans cotta separated while cooling in the fridge. Is there a way to avoid this?
