Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham crackers (crushed)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.25 cups crushed pecans or additional graham cracker crumbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until fully combined. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly, then spread the pumpkin layer over the cream cheese layer.
Gently spread the thawed whipped topping over the pumpkin mixture as the final layer.
Optional: Sprinkle crushed pecans or additional graham cracker crumbs over the top for garnish.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely before serving.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Pumpkin Out of This World Dessert!
