Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (honey or cinnamon graham crackers for a twist)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • Crushed graham crackers or ginger snaps (optional, for garnish)
  • Extra sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust.
  3. In a clean bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and silky.
  5. Spread the creamy pumpkin mixture evenly over the graham crust.
  6. Gently spread whipped topping over the pumpkin layer and smooth out.
  7. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers, extra spice, and nuts on top if desired.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
  9. Slice into squares and serve cold.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and real pumpkin puree. Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers. Dairy-free options include coconut whipped topping and vegan cream cheese. Chill overnight for firmer layers and deeper flavor. Garnish with nuts or extra spice for added crunch and presentation.
