Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
For the Filling:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust Start by mixing together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the base of your tart. Once done, place the dish in the refrigerator to allow the crust to set while you work on the filling.
Step 2: Make the Filling In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Combine the pumpkin mixture with the cream cheese mixture, gently folding to create a smooth consistency.
Step 3: Add Whipped Cream Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin cream cheese mixture, ensuring it’s well incorporated without over-mixing. This will give the filling a light and airy texture.
Step 4: Assemble and Chill Pour the pumpkin spice cream filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly across the top. Place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to chill and set.
