Notes

  • Graham cracker crumbs: You can either finely crush graham crackers, or you can purchase boxes of pre-crushed graham cracker crumbs.
  • Cream cheese: I recommend using full-fat cream cheese in this recipe. 
  • Pumpkin puree: Be sure to use sold-pack pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix. 
  • Pumpkin pie spice: If you want to make your own pumpkin pie spice blend, you can use this recipe.
  • Sour cream: I recommend using full-fat sour cream in the topping.
