Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients (Crust):
- 9 sheets graham crackers (1 sleeve; or 1 cup graham cracker crumbs)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Spices and Sweeteners:
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor, blending with sugar and cinnamon until texture is consistent and powdery.
- Transfer crumb mixture to a mixing bowl and incorporate melted butter, stirring thoroughly to ensure complete moisture distribution throughout the crumbs.
- Gently press the buttery crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9″ glass pie plate, creating an even, compact layer that covers the entire base.
- Refrigerate the prepared crust for 10-15 minutes to allow the butter to solidify and help maintain the crust’s structure.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree with vanilla pudding mix and pumpkin pie spice, using an electric mixer to blend until smooth and fully integrated.
- Carefully fold thawed whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture, using gentle circular motions to maintain the light, airy texture while ensuring complete incorporation.
- Spread the pumpkin fluff filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, creating a uniform surface with soft, gentle movements.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set completely.
- Before serving, optionally dust the top with an extra sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or a delicate pinch of nutmeg for enhanced aromatic complexity.
Notes
- Achieve ultra-fine graham cracker crumbs by processing them longer for a smoother, more compact crust that holds together perfectly.
- Ensure melted butter is slightly cooled before mixing with graham cracker crumbs to prevent soggy or greasy texture.
- Chill the crust thoroughly to create a firm, crisp base that won’t become mushy when adding the pumpkin fluff filling.
- Fold whipped topping gently to maintain its light, airy texture and prevent deflating the mixture, which keeps the dessert fluffy and delicate.
