Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream base)
• 0.5 cup additional whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons crushed nuts or cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully combined and set aside.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until smooth. Reserve the other half for topping the parfait.

Step 8

Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Dollop or spread the remaining whipped cream over the pumpkin layer.

Step 10

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 11

Before serving, garnish the top with additional whipped topping, crushed nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Step 12

Cut into 9 squares and serve chilled.
