1. Prepare the crust: ๐ช In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter ๐ง. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9ร13-inch baking dish. This will form the firm base of your dessert. Place the dish in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling to allow the crust to firm up. ๐ง
2. Whip the cream cheese layer: ๐ง In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. This will create a silky layer that pairs perfectly with the pumpkin filling. ๐ Once mixed, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. ๐ฐ
3. Prepare the pumpkin filling: ๐ In another large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding mix ๐ฎ, pumpkin pie spice ๐, and milk ๐ฅ until smooth and thick. The instant pudding mix will help the pumpkin filling set up beautifully, giving the dessert a firm, creamy consistency. ๐ฅ
4. Layer the pumpkin filling: Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer. Use a spatula to smooth the top, making sure the pumpkin layer is even and reaches all corners of the dish. This step ensures that each bite will have the perfect balance of creamy pumpkin and rich cream cheese. ๐ฐ
5. Top with whipped topping: ๐ฆ Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pumpkin layer, creating a fluffy, light topping to balance the richness of the dessert. This final layer adds a smooth, creamy finish to the dessert. ๐
6. Chill before serving: ๐ง Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together. The longer the dessert chills, the better the texture will be. ๐
7. Serve and enjoy: Once the dessert has set, slice into squares and serve! Each bite is a perfect combination of crunchy graham cracker crust, creamy pumpkin filling, and fluffy whipped topping. This layered pumpkin dessert is perfect for fall gatherings or as a delicious end to any meal. ๐๐ฐ
