Chocolate Pumpkin Icebox Cake

Beat the cream cheese with both sugars in the bowl of your electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Then beat in the pumpkin, cream, salt, spices and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Place a layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom of a 9 x 9 inch pan or dish. You may need to cut some crackers to fit. Spread 1/4 of the pumpkin mix over the crackers and smooth with an offset spatula. Layer 3 more times, ending with the pumpkin mix. Cover and chill for 12 hours or overnight.

For the stenciling:
Remove the cake from the fridge. Use any pattern of stencils you would like. You can trace the pattern onto a thick piece of paper. At my local craft store, I could not find any seasonal stencils that were small for the size of this cake. But I did find a variety of small felt leaves. I simply placed these over the top of the cake, and dusted the top with cocoa powder. I removed the leaves carefully with kitchen tweezers. Cut and serve!
