Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 16 oz whipped topping, thawed (divided)

Pumpkin Layer

  • 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding
  • 12 oz can evaporated milk
  • 15 oz can pure pumpkin
  • 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

Topping

  • Remaining whipped topping from above (about 2 cups)
  • ¼ cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish and press firmly to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the cheesecake layer: Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar on high speed until smooth and well combined. Gradually beat in 1½ cups of whipped topping on medium speed until the mixture is fluffy and evenly blended.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake layer: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.
  4. Prepare the pumpkin layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the instant vanilla pudding mix with evaporated milk until thickened according to package instructions. Stir in the pure pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice until fully combined.
  5. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold ½ cup of the remaining whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture to lighten the texture, then spread this pumpkin layer evenly over the chilled cheesecake layer.
  6. Top with whipped topping and pecans: Spread the remaining 2 cups of whipped topping evenly over the pumpkin layer. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top as a crunchy garnish.
  7. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and ready to serve chilled.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese and whipped topping are at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use a 9×13 inch dish for proper layering and to ensure the dessert sets well.
  • For added flavor, toast pecans lightly before sprinkling on top.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day ahead for enhanced flavor and easier serving.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
