For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup cold milk
1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Fold the pudding mixture into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in half of the whipped topping until the filling is smooth and uniform.
Assemble the Pie:
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
Top the pie with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it smoothly over the filling.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve:
Once set, slice the pie and serve chilled.
Optional: Garnish each slice with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream.
