Ingredients
  

2 cups of pumpkin puree

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Whipped cream and pecans for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan to form an even crust. Set aside.

    Make the Pumpkin Layer: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth. Fold in the Greek yogurt until fully combined.

      Create the Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and almond extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.

        Combine Layers: Spread the pumpkin mixture over the graham cracker crust, smoothing out the top. Then, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pumpkin layer.

          Add Whipped Cream: In a different bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the remaining cream cheese mixture. Spread this fluffy layer on top of the dessert.

            Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

              Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pecans if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Better Than dessert!
