Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, for topping)

Whipped cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and brown sugar.

      - Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated and crumbly.

        - Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking dish to create an even crust layer.

          - Place the dish in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow the crust to set.

            Make the Filling:

              - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, canned pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

                - Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-blended.

                  Assemble the Pie:

                    - Once the crust has hardened, remove it from the freezer.

                      - Carefully pour the luscious pumpkin yogurt filling over the crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smoothly across the surface.

                        Add Toppings (Optional):

                          - If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the filling for an added layer of crunch and flavor.

                            Freeze:

                              - Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.

                                - Place it in the freezer and allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the filling is completely firm to the touch.

                                  Slice and Serve:

                                    - Once fully frozen, take the dish out of the freezer.

                                      - Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes so that it softens slightly for easier cutting.

                                        - Use a sharp knife to slice the pie into squares. Serve each square with a generous dollop of whipped cream, if you like.
