- Fill Pie Crust: Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to form the bottom layer.

- Garnish: Lightly sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon on top for decoration.

Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix, to get the right flavor and texture.
- Only use instant pudding mix for the middle layer to ensure proper thickening.
- Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Store pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best freshness.
