Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream, whipped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in melted butter and stir until combined. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Gently fold in whipped cream until just incorporated.
Spoon the pumpkin mixture over the crust.
Chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Notes
For a more stable crust, bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes before filling. Let it cool completely.
Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.
