Prep Time 20 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 chocolate chip cookie crust
1 - 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 - 16 ounce container Cool Whip, thawed and divided

Instructions

Make the pie crust and dump the crumbs into a 9 inch pie plate. Starting with the sides, press the crumbs firmly around the edge of the pan.
Use the bottom of a spoon or measuring cup to press the center down evenly and firmly. Refrigerate while making the filling.
Beat the cream cheese and sugars until smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix again.
Gently fold 2 cups Cool Whip gently into the pumpkin mixture. Spoon into the chilled cookie crust.
Spread 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip evenly over the top. Refrigerate 3-4 hours.
Decorate the top of the pie with more Cool Whip swirls, extra cookies, and sprinkles.

Notes

If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Remove the excess moisture from the pumpkin puree before adding it to the pie filling. Spoon it onto paper towels and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature before you start mixing it. If it is still cold, you will end up with little bits of cream cheese in the filling.
Allow enough time for this pie to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours, so it is firm enough to cut.
Use a sharp knife to cut the pie. Run it under hot water and dry it off between cuts for the cleanest slices.
This no bake pie can also be made in an 8x8 or 9x9 square pan or springform pan. Double the ingredients if you want to make it in a 9x13 dish.
Want to make smaller individual desserts? Spoon the filling into mini store bought Keebler graham cracker crusts or swirl it into little parfait cups.
