No Bake Pumpkin Pie Dessert
No-bake pumpkin pie dessert with graham cracker crust, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, whipped topping, and pumpkin spice.
Ingredients
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Melted butter
- Sugar divided
- Cream cheese softened
- Canned pumpkin puree
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Vanilla extract
- Cool Whip or whipped topping
- Extra whipped topping for serving
Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and some sugar until evenly moistened.
- Press the crust firmly into a pie plate.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Fold in Cool Whip gently until combined.
- Spread filling into the prepared crust.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- Top with whipped topping before serving if desired.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese so the filling is smooth. Use plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. Press the crust firmly with a measuring cup so it holds together. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before slicing. Freeze without whipped topping if making farther ahead.
