- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker or pastry pie crust, baked and cooled
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 packet (about 2 1/2 tsp) unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- Whipped cream, for topping
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a saucepan, heat pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves over medium heat for 5 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm pumpkin mixture until dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Fold the cooled pumpkin mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold it into the pumpkin mixture.

- Before serving, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- Make sure cream cheese is softened for smooth blending.
- Chilling overnight gives the best flavor and texture.
