Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted butter
For the Pumpkin Filling:
- 1 container (24.3 oz) Philly no-bake cheesecake filling
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 packet (3.5 oz) instant vanilla pudding
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
For the Topping:
- 1 container (8 oz) thawed whipped topping
- Pumpkin pie spice, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare and Chill the Graham Cracker Crust: Combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter directly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Mix gently until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly to create an even crust layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
- Layer Cheesecake Filling Over the Crust: Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator. Spread the 24.3 oz container of Philly no-bake cheesecake filling evenly over the crust, smoothing the surface for a creamy base layer.
- Prepare the Pumpkin Pudding Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 1/2 cups milk until thickened. Gently fold in the canned pumpkin puree and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice until combined. Spread this pumpkin pudding mixture delicately over the cheesecake layer to maintain lightness.
- Top with Whipped Topping and Chill: Spread the thawed 8 oz whipped topping gently over the pumpkin layer using a spatula for an even finish. Dust lightly with pumpkin pie spice for a festive touch. Refrigerate the entire dessert until ready to serve, allowing layers to set.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for richest cheesecake filling.
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed for easy spreading.
- For a stronger pumpkin spice flavor, adjust the pumpkin pie spice to taste.
- This dessert is best chilled for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Cut into squares for serving and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts for clean edges.
