Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened for easier mixing
  • 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree Canned or homemade
  • 1 Cup Whipped Topping Like Cool Whip, for a light texture

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl Large enough to mix all ingredients
  • 1 Hand Mixer Helps create a smooth, fluffy texture
  • 1 Spatula For scraping down the bowl
  • 1 Measuring Cups To measure cream cheese, whipped cream, etc.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Pumpkin Puree
    Gradually mix in the pumpkin puree, ensuring it's fully combined and smooth.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping
    Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until well incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
  4. Transfer to a Crust (Optional)
    If using a graham cracker crust, spread the mixture evenly into the crust using a spatula.
  5. Chill
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours or until set. Overnight chilling gives the best texture.
  6. Serve and Enjoy
    Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, cinnamon, or crushed nuts for extra flavor.
