  4. In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of cool whip. Use an electric mixer or stand mixture -- start on a low speed to combine. Once mixture is starting to combine turn the speed to high and finish whipping the mixture together until no lumps remain.
  5. Spread cream cheese mixture over the top of the cooled graham cracker crust.
  6. In a large mixing bowl combine instant vanilla pudding, milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and 1 cup of cool whip. Whisk together.

  8. Spread remaining cool whip over the top of the desert. Sprinkle with ¾ cup of remaining chopped pecans.
