Ingredients

Cinnamon Crust

  • 1⅓ cups finely crushed cinnamon Teddy Grahams
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Pumpkin Cheesecake

  • 2 bars (8 oz each) cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs

Pudding & Cool Whip Layers

  • 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) vanilla instant pudding
  • 2 cups half & half milk
  • 8 oz Cool Whip thawed
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and very lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish. 
  • Combine cinnamon cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix together until it's like wet sand. Press into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • While the crust is cooking prepare the pumpkin cheesecake. In a bowl with a handheld mixer or bowl of a stand mixer, beat together cream cheese and granulated sugar until mixed and combined. Add pumpkin and the spices. Beat together and then add the eggs, one at a time, blending after each. Pour over the cooked, hot crust. Bake for 30 minutes. 
  • When cook time is done the cheesecake should be puffy and look set on the sides but the center should still be slightly jiggly just like a regular cheesecake. Let it cool on a cooling rack at room temperature for 1 hour. 
  • Beat together the pudding mixes and half & half milk with a whisk for 2 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes so it will thicken up. Add 1 cup of the Cool Whip and stir together until blended. Spread it over the cooked and cooled cheesecake. 
  • Dollop spoonful's of the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer (this makes it easier to spread out) and spread out evenly, completely covering the pudding layer. 
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 hours. Sprinkle with pecans and then cut into squares to serve. Store leftovers in the fridge.

Notes

I use a food chopper to crush the Teddy Grahams. You can also put them into a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or other kitchen tool. Make sure they are very finely crushed. You don't want any large pieces of cracker in the crust.
