Crust:
3 cups graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for garnish)
½ cup pecans, finely chopped or processed
6 tbsp sugar
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
12 tbsp butter, melted

2 cups whipping cream, chilled
32 oz (4 blocks) cream cheese, softened

Make the crust: In a bowl, combine graham crumbs, pecans, sugar, spice, and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9×13 inch dish (or two 8x8s). Chill in fridge to set.
Whip the cream: Beat chilled whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Cream cheese layer: In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Fold in whipped cream. Spread over crust.
Pumpkin layer: Mix pumpkin, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Fold in Cool Whip until fluffy. Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top it off: Sprinkle with chopped pecans, extra graham crumbs, and cinnamon if desired. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
