In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Fold into pumpkin mixture. Refrigerate, covered, until cold.
Spread scant tablespoonfuls of pumpkin mixture over wafers; arrange in a 8x8-in. baking dish, closely overlapping wafers. Repeat with remaining pumpkin mixture and wafers. Sprinkle top with wafer crumbs. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
