Cheesecake Layer
- Add 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to a large bowl and use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to beat everything together until smooth.
- Once smooth, fold in 8 ounces whipped topping, by hand until completely combined. Spread evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

Spread it evenly across the cheesecake layer and place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until the pumpkin layer has set up.
Topping
- Evenly spread 8 ounces whipped topping, over the pumpkin layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. If desired, add a sprinkle of chopped pecans and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice.
