Method
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully fold the thawed whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring the texture remains light and fluffy.
- Pour the filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust and spread it evenly.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to set.
- Before serving, top with additional whipped topping or a sprinkle of crushed nuts, if desired.
Notes
For best results, allow the cream cheese to soften completely to prevent lumps. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for an extra flavor kick. It's best to prepare a day in advance to let flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
