- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup sugar

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- Make the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl, then adding the melted butter and pressing into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
