Crust Preparation
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl; press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Filling Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, then beat until well combined and smooth.
- Gradually beat in the cold milk until just combined, then gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is evenly incorporated and airy.
Assembly and Chilling
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3-4 hours, or until thoroughly set, before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure the pie chills completely before serving to allow the filling to set properly. You can garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra touch.
