Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this blend into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and spices. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula, starting with a third of the whipped cream to lighten the base, then incorporating the remaining.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
- Remove from refrigerator, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving. Slice and enjoy.

Notes
Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before use. Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
