Ingredients
Scale
- 10 ounces Graham cracker crumbs
- 12 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (1.5 sticks)
- ¼ cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (divided)
- 16 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 (3.4 oz) packages Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 15 ounces Can pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ cups Whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
- 8 ounces Frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- Optional toppings: chopped pecans, caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. In a medium bowl add the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar and half of the ground cinnamon. Mix well to combine. Pour the crumb mixture into a 9×13” cake pan and level out, pressing down with a heavy bottomed glass.
- Bake the crust at 350℉ for 8-10 minutes. Cool the crust completely for 30 minutes on a cooling rack.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Blend for 1-3 minutes on medium-high until smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the sweetened cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust. Refrigerate while making the pudding.
- In a new mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mixes, pumpkin purée, milk and nutmeg by hand for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken. Spread this pudding over the cream cheese layer. Return the dessert to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to set, 4 hours or overnight if time allows.
- When ready to serve, top with the thawed whipped topping and, if desired, chopped pecans and caramel sauce.
