I love simple things that look fancy. This dessert is easy to put together and tastes and looks so impressive. The buttery brown sugar and graham cracker crust is the perfect compliment to the creamy pumpkin spice goodness, topped with brown sugar and vanilla flavored cream. This dessert is especially dangerous for me when combined with a big mug of coffee because I seriously don’t want to stop eating it. I hope you enjoy it just as much.
