Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 prepared graham cracker crust (approximately 9 inches)

Filling

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  2. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture until evenly incorporated and light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the bars: Pour the pumpkin cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it out in an even layer.
  4. Chill until firm: Place the assembled bars in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until firm and set.
  5. Serve: Once chilled and firm, slice into bars and serve chilled for a delicious no-bake pumpkin dessert.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin purée for best and consistent results.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping.
  • Keep the bars refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
  • Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped topping before serving.
