Ingredients

• 2 cups graham crackers (crushed)
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 0.75 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 15 ounces pumpkin puree
• 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (thawed)
• 0.25 cups crushed pecans or additional graham cracker crumbs (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until fully combined. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly, then spread the pumpkin layer over the cream cheese layer.

Step 6

Gently spread the thawed whipped topping over the pumpkin mixture as the final layer.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle crushed pecans or additional graham cracker crumbs over the top for garnish.

Step 8

Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely before serving.

Step 9

Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Pumpkin Out of This World Dessert!
