Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1.5 cups pure pumpkin purée
• 1.5 cups heavy cream, chilled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture is like wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom, then microwave for 10-15 seconds to dissolve fully.

Step 5

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 6

In another large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and dissolved gelatin until smooth.

Step 9

Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until incorporated. Spread this mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese layer.

Step 10

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 11

Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream or a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy!
