Description

A creamy, no-bake pumpkin pie layered in a pre-made graham cracker crust, combining spiced pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding, and whipped topping for a perfect, easy fall dessert.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Base Layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp milk
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 8 oz Cool Whip, divided
  • 1 premade graham cracker crumb pie crust (larger than standard size)

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 (3.4 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 15 oz canned pumpkin

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, and the sugar until smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in half of the whipped topping (4 oz) until combined. Spread this mixture evenly into the graham cracker crust, creating the base layer.
  2. Make Pumpkin Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of milk, canned pumpkin, the two packages of instant vanilla pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  3. Assemble Pie: Spread the pumpkin pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer in the crust. Then top the pie with the remaining half of the whipped topping, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Chill: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set properly before serving. For best results, chill overnight.

Notes

  • This pie requires no baking, making it a quick and easy dessert option.
  • Using a larger graham cracker crust ensures more filling per slice and a better ratio of crust to filling.
  • The pumpkin pie spice can be adjusted to taste, or substituted with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the base layer.
  • Chilling the pie for at least 4 hours is key for the pie to set properly and for flavors to meld.
