A layered dessert combining creamy cheesecake, spiced pumpkin, and a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for fall gatherings and holidays.

Ingredients

  • Graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
  • Unsalted butter, melted
  • Cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Canned pumpkin puree
  • Brown sugar
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, caramel drizzle, or extra pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until moistened. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of your baking dish to form the crust.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well until smooth. Carefully spread the pumpkin mixture on top of the cheesecake layer.
  4. Use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream into stiff peaks. Sweeten with a touch of powdered sugar, if desired. Spread the whipped cream over the pumpkin layer, creating a fluffy top.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
  6. Slice into squares and serve chilled. Add optional toppings like chopped nuts, caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for extra flair.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth texture. Chill overnight for best results. Optional toppings like nuts or caramel can enhance the flavor and presentation.
