Comments: A no-bake pumpkin cheesecake that you'll make year after year. It's so tasty, creamy and so quick to make. A Thanksgiving dessert that you can make at almost the last minute.

Ingredients: 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened 1 cup canned 100% pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice 1 (8 oz.) container frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed 1 graham cracker ready-made pie crust *see note below* (6 oz. size)

Instructions: Mix cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar and pumpkin pie spice with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping. Spoon pumpkin mixture into prepared crust. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Serve with a dollop of whipped topping or whipped cream. If desired, garnish with candy corn or candy pumpkins. Store any leftovers in refrigerator. Makes 8 servings. *Note: I made a homemade graham cracker crust, and used a tart dish to place it in, then poured the whipped pumpkin cheesecake mixture into that. I like the idea of using my own baking dish for a prettier presentation than the store bought ready-made crust in an aluminum foil pie pan. Homemade Graham Cracker Crust Recipe Ingredients: 1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup granulated sugar 6 tbsp. (3/4 stick/3oz/85g) unsalted butter or margarine, melted Instructions: Combine all ingredients, mix well. Press firmly into 9-inch pie or tart plate. Bake at 375ºF (190°C) for 6 to 9 minutes or until edges are brown. Let crust cool completely before filling. Makes 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust. Photograph taken by Diana Baker Woodall© 2002
