1 ¾ cup Powdered Sugar

6 tablespoon Butter melted
2 ½ tablespoon Sugar

Instructions

For the Graham Cracker Crust

Blend the graham crackers using a food processor until it forms a sand texture.
Mix together the sugar and blended graham crackers. Melt the butter and pour into the graham cracker mixture. Using a fork, combine the mixture and pour into the desired pan. Press firmly with a ⅓ measuring cup. Work some of the crust up the sides of the pan and chill for 30-45 minutes.

For the Cheesecake

In al arge mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese, pumpkin, maple syrup and greek yogurt, then whisk until light and fluffy.
Add in the powdered sugar and whisk again until smooth.
Pour into the graham cracker crust and chill for 6-7 hours or overnight. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients- For the smoothest texture and taste, make sure the cream cheese and greek yogurt are completely room temperature before whisking them together.

Add the Powdered Sugar Gently! - Powdered sugar is known for flying everywhere, so be gently when pouring it into the bowl with the cream cheese and yogurt. Whisk on a low speed, then increase the speed as the powdered sugar becomes incorporated.

Let it Chill - When it comes to no bake desserts, they MUST chill for a prolonged period of time to let the ingredients set and firm up. I've tried making these at least six different times and each time there was something wrong with them. I've come to learn just how important the chill time is. Trust me and my failures, do not rush this recipe!
