Ingredients
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10–12 crackers)
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Pumpkin Layer:
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
For the Whipped Cream Layer:
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the Crust:
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Pumpkin Layer:
In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
Make Cream Cheese Layer:
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping. Spread evenly over chilled crust.
Add Pumpkin Layer:
Spread the spiced pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Whip the Cream:
In a clean bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over the pumpkin layer.
Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
Serve:
Garnish with crushed graham crackers, cinnamon, or caramel drizzle before serving.
Notes
Chill for at least 2 hours to let layers firm up properly.
This dessert can be made a day in advance—perfect for busy holiday prep.
Homemade whipped cream adds a richer flavor, but Cool Whip works in a pinch.
Customize with chopped pecans or a swirl of caramel for extra flair.
