Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined and press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until golden. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped topping until fully integrated. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and powdered sugar. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until well combined. Spread this layer over the cream cheese layer in the baking dish.
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pumpkin layer, smoothing it out nicely. Optionally, sprinkle additional pumpkin spice or crushed graham crackers on top for decoration.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Pumpkin Lush Dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
