Whipped Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

Crust:

3 cups graham cracker crumbs

2/3 cup white sugar

3/4 cup butter, melted

Filling:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup white sugar

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine graham cracker crumbs, 2/3 cup sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix until evenly moistened, then press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Place pan on a baking sheet.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned and toasted, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow crust to cool.

Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in pumpkin puree until completely incorporated.

Fold whipped topping into pumpkin mixture; stir in nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice. Pour pumpkin mixture into graham cracker crust. Cover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Gently remove pie from springform pan.
