1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:
Begin by making the graham cracker crust ๐ฅฃ. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Stir to evenly distribute the sugar throughout the crumbs. Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter ๐ง and pour it over the graham cracker mixture. Use a fork to mix everything together until the crumbs are fully moistened and the mixture has a wet sand-like texture. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9ร13-inch glass baking dish, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press down firmly. Once the crust is ready, place the dish in the fridge to chill while you prepare the other layers.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer:
In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese ๐ง and beat it until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in 1 cup of powdered sugar, beating well after each addition until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping ๐ง, making sure not to overmix. The result should be a light and fluffy cream cheese layer. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, ensuring a smooth, even layer. Return the dish to the fridge to let the cream cheese layer set while you prepare the pumpkin layer.
3. Prepare the Pumpkin Layer:
In another large bowl, whisk together the can of pumpkin puree ๐, instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon ๐ง. The pudding mix will help thicken the pumpkin filling while the spices add that warm, fall flavor. Once everything is well mixed, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping ๐ง. The whipped topping adds a light, airy texture to the pumpkin filling. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer, ensuring an even and smooth distribution. Once again, return the dish to the fridge to let the layers set.
4. Top with Whipped Topping and Pecans:
Once the pumpkin layer has set, spread an additional layer of whipped topping ๐ง over the pumpkin filling, using a spatula to create a smooth, fluffy top layer. This whipped topping gives the dessert a light and creamy finish. For a bit of crunch, sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped pecans ๐ฐ over the top of the whipped layer. If you want an extra touch of fall flavor, lightly dust the top with ground cinnamon.
5. Chill and Serve:
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the Pumpkin Delight chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set completely and the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, slice into squares and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream ๐ง and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a beautiful presentation. This creamy, layered dessert is perfect for fall gatherings, potlucks, or holiday dinners! ๐
