Crust:
- 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
- 1 1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz Cream Cheese softened
- 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar

- 1/2 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream

Making Crust:
Line an 8 x 8 - inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray well with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Once mixed, press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Filling:
In a large-size bowl, combine the pumpkin, cream cheese, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
Use the whisk attachment of a hand mixer or stand mixer to combine the cream and powdered sugar. Mix on medium to high speed until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes). Gently fold the whipped cream with the pumpkin cream cheese mixture.
Remove the crust from the freezer, and pour the filling over the crust. Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
Serve with your favorite toppings, and keep refrigerated. Enjoy within 3 days.
