No-bake Pumpkin Dream Pie

 No-Bake Pumpkin Dream Pie 🎃❤️

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Pumpkin Filling:

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed

For the Topping:

Extra Cool Whip (optional)

A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg

Directions:

Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Fold the Cool Whip into the pumpkin mixture until smooth and fluffy.

Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.

Serve: Top with extra Cool Whip and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving, if desired.
