Simple no-bake fall pumpkin dessert with cookies

A delicious no-bake dessert can be prepared with seasonal fall product pumpkin. The vegetable has a pleasant sweetness and does not require long cooking. All you need to make it is a delicate thick filling, and ordinary cookies are perfect for the base.

The idea of making a delicious pumpkin dessert without baking was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Svitlana Levytska (lanas diet). Any cookies will do for the base.
