Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cups pure pumpkin puree
- 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 ounces whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 0.25 cups chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Spread about 2 cups of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture and fold gently until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.
In another mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and remaining whipped topping. Stir until fully blended.
Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate the Pumpkin Delight for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
Before serving, garnish with chopped pecans if desired. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
