A delicious and easy no-bake fall dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, a creamy spiced pumpkin cheesecake layer, and a fluffy whipped topping.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gently fold in half of the whipped topping (8 oz) until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Spread the pumpkin cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Top with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it into an even layer.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps. Chilling overnight yields the best texture.
