Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pumpkin Layer

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 box Instant vanilla pudding 4 oz
  • 1/2 cup cool whip
  • 1 1/4 cup half and half

Topping

  • 2 cups cool whip
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • Caramel sauce for drizzle

Instructions

  • In a bowl, you will add your graham cracker crumbs, butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until crumbly like sand. Then press the crust into an aluminum foil-lined 8x8 pan. Press down with a cup or something firm to pack it in.
  • Now in a new bowl add your cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip it up until nice and creamy. Then spread on top of the graham cracker crust.
  • Next in a new bowl add your half and half and vanilla pudding. Whip until it begins to thicken. Then add in your pumpkin spice, pumpkin puree, and mix. Then once well-mixed fold in 1/2 cup cool whip. Then top the cheesecake layer.
  • Now add on your 2 cups cool whip. Cover and then place in the fridge covered for at least 4 hours.
  • Then before you serve up this pumpkin lush, top with chopped nuts and drizzle on the caramel sauce.
