Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
In a food processor, pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs. Combine with sugar and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press into the bottom of the baking pan and bake for 5–7 minutes. Allow to cool.
For the cheesecake layer, mix softened cream cheese and confectioner’s sugar until smooth in a stand mixer. Gently fold in whipped topping and spread over the cooled crust.
In another bowl, whisk together half-and-half and vanilla pudding until thickened. Add pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice; mix well before folding in additional whipped topping.
Layer the pumpkin mixture over the cheesecake layer, then top with remaining whipped topping and chopped pecans.
Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours before serving.
