Equipment

1 9x13-inch pan

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

2 cups cinnamon graham cracker crumbs* see notes if using regular graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter melted

3 8-ounce blocks cream cheese softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
2 8-ounce tubs whipped topping, thawed divided

Instructions

Make the Crust

Add the graham cracker crumbs* and melted butter to a large mixing bowl.
2 cups cinnamon graham cracker crumbs*, 1/2 cup butter
Mix until well-combined. The mixture should be even and sandy.
Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan and set aside.

Make the Filling

Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer). Beat until smooth.
3 8-ounce blocks cream cheese
Add the sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice and mix well.
1 1/3 cups sugar, 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Fold in about 1 1/2 tubs of the whipped topping (you'll have the rest for serving) until well-distributed.
1.5 8-ounce tubs whipped topping, thawed
Spoon the filing over the crust and spread to an even layer.
Cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set up.

To Serve

When ready to serve, cut the dessert into bars with a sharp knife.
Serve with the remaining whipped topping.
0.5 8-ounce tubs whipped topping, thawed

Notes

If using regular graham cracker crumbs, add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar.

2 cups of graham cracker crumbs = about 16 full sheets

Try using melted and browned butter for the crust! Takes a bit more time but adds so much flavor!
