Preparation Steps
- Start by lightly spraying a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until fine crumbs form, about 30 seconds. Add melted butter and sugar, pulse until resembling wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish. Freeze for about 15 minutes to set.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Mix on low speed until smooth and well combined.
- Sprinkle in brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix on low speed until well incorporated.
- Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula.
- Pour the pumpkin mousse filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the mousse and dust with ground cinnamon if desired.
- Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled, optionally drizzling with caramel or serving with fresh berries.

Notes
Refrigerating the pie for at least 6 hours is essential for the best texture. Adjust sugar levels to your preference before pouring into the crust.
