    Ingredients
     

    • 2 lbs Maple Pound Cake (My recipe here or store-bought variety)

    For the No Bake Cheesecake Filling:

    • 454 g Cream cheese
    • 75 g Granulated Sugar
    • 75 g Dark Brown Sugar
    • 75 g Pumpkin Purée (¼ cup)
    • 2 T Pumpkin Pie Spice (My Mix Recipe Here)
    • ½ t Vanilla
    • ⅛ t Salt
    • 340 g Cream

    Additional Toppings:

    • 520 g Cream (for the topping)
    • 2 cups Pecans (toasted (optional))
    • 80 g Maple Syrup
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions
     

    Make the No-Bake Cheesecake filling:

    • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese until softened and smooth. Add sugars and continue to beat until no visible sugar granules remain.
    • Pumpkin puree, spice mix, vanilla and salt. Beat to combine.
    • Switch to whisk attachment and add 340g cream to bowl. Whisk on medium high until stiff peaks form.
    • Cut pound cake into cubes.
    • Whisk remaining 2 cups cream to soft peaks either by hand or with a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. I chose to keep mine unsweetened but you could add 2 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar to make a sweetened version

    Assemble the triffle:

    • Start with a thin layer of cheesecake filling then add a layer of cake, drizzle with maple syrup and crumble a few pecans. Repeat until you reach the top layer where you will finish with the whipped cream! Garnish with a few pecans if desired!
    • Store in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap until serving. Best if made at least 1 day ahead to give the flavors time to meld and the cake to absorb some moisture from the cheesecake layers!
