Method
Make the Crust
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl.
- Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate and chill while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Filling
- Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the pumpkin mixture.
Assemble and Chill
- Spoon the pumpkin filling into the chilled crust, spreading evenly.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Serve
- Slice and serve cold, garnished with additional whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For best results, ensure the pie chills completely for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set perfectly.
