A delightful no-bake dessert combining the rich flavors of pumpkin and cheesecake, perfect for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the whipped topping.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.
Use a spatula to smooth the layer evenly for a neat appearance.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the pudding mix dissolves completely.
Gently fold in the remaining whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture.
Folding gently helps maintain the light and airy texture.
Spread the pumpkin mixture over the cheesecake layer.
Spread carefully to avoid mixing the layers.
Top with the reserved whipped topping, spreading or piping it decoratively.
Use a piping bag for a professional-looking finish.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling allows the layers to set properly for easier slicing.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful no-bake pumpkin cheesecake.
Garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for added flair.
