Time 8h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla-bean paste
45 graham crackers (each 2 1/2 by 5 inches)
1/4 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the pumpkin puree and the condensed milk in a large bowl.
  • Whip the cream, pie spice and vanilla paste in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Fold the whipped cream mixture into the pumpkin mixture with a flexible spatula in three additions, until no streaks remain.
  • Line the bottom of a 10-inch springform cake pan with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking up some of them to fill in any gaps. Spread 1 cup of the pumpkin-cream mixture evenly on top of the crackers. Add another layer of crackers and then spread with another 1 cup of the filling. Repeat until all the crackers and the filling are used up, ending with the filling.
  • Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the cake is completely chilled, at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
  • To serve, remove the plastic wrap from the pan and run a thin paring knife along the edge of the cake. Remove the outer ring of the pan. Top with the toasted pecans.
