Here’s an easy dessert that bridges the gap between summer and fall—with the cooling refreshment of a chilled treat and the autumnal hits of pumpkin and warm spices. You’ll love the ease of this recipe, where graham crackers are layered with whipped topping and a spiced pumpkin filling until they soften into “cake.” Do make sure you plan ahead, as the dish needs to chill for at least 4 hours to soften the graham crackers, plus an hour or so in the freezer to help the elements firm up enough to slice.

8 oz
Graham crackers
16 square(s)

In a medium bowl, stir together ½ cup whipped topping, pumpkin, sugar, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Spread half of pumpkin mixture over graham cracker layer in pan.
