Ingredients

Scale

main ingredients:

  • 1 graham cracker crust (9-inch)
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 package (8 oz / 226 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk

spices and flavor enhancers:

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

toppings:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture for easy mixing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  3. Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes completely smooth and well-incorporated.
  4. Fold in the pumpkin puree, creating a rich and velvety base for the pie filling.
  5. Add ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, stirring thoroughly to distribute the warm, aromatic spices evenly throughout the mixture.
  6. Pour in vanilla extract, blending gently to enhance the overall flavor profile of the pie.
  7. Transfer the silky pumpkin mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula and smoothing the top.
  8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set and develop a firm, creamy consistency.
  9. Before serving, prepare the whipped cream by whipping heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  10. Dollop the freshly whipped cream over the chilled pie, creating decorative swirls.
  11. Sprinkle chopped pecans and an additional dusting of ground cinnamon on top for a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
  12. Slice and serve the pie chilled, enjoying the luscious, no-bake dessert that captures the essence of autumn flavors.

Notes

  • Chill the cream cheese thoroughly to achieve an ultra-smooth texture without lumps in the filling.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for maximum richness and a more decadent pie experience.
  • Replace graham cracker crust with gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour crust for dietary restrictions.
  • Experiment with spice levels by adjusting ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to suit personal taste preferences.
