Ingredients

  • 2 cups (9oz) dairy-free whipped cream/topping
  • 8 oz dairy-free cream cheese
  • ¾ cup (75g) organic powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (235g) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch of cloves
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 34-36 gluten-free graham crackers

Instructions

  • Grease 8x8 baking pan and set aside.
  • Place cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Beat with a hand mixture until smooth, then add the pumpkin, spices, and salt and beat until incorporated.
  • Add vanilla and one cup whipped topping and beat to incorporate, followed by the remainder of the whipped topping.
  • Place a layer of graham crackers on the bottom of prepared pan. You may need to break the graham crackers to fit. In doing so, make sure they are in an even layer. Spread ⅔ cup of the whipped cream pumpkin mixture over the top.
  • Repeat these layers two more times. Decorate your last layer with graham cracker crumbs and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
  • This icebox cake is best served within a day of being made.

Notes

To store: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
The recipe needs at least 2 cups (8oz) of whipped topping or whipped cream. Depending on the brand, many vegan whipped topping containers come in 9 or 10-oz tubs. Feel free to use it all, but no more. 
Different brands of graham crackers vary in size. I used about 36 whole crackers of the Schar brand.
