Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (excess moisture removed with paper towels)
  • 8 oz. cool whip, thawed

Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Puree: Remove excess moisture from the pumpkin puree by placing it on paper towels on a plate. Fold the towels over the puree to completely enclose it and absorb the moisture. This step ensures the pie sets properly.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly pack the crust down. Chill the crust in the refrigerator.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat instant vanilla pudding mix, 3 cups heavy whipping cream, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the pumpkin puree and cool whip on low speed until combined.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spread the pumpkin cream filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 8 hours to allow it to set.
  5. Make the Cream Topping: Before serving, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe the cream topping over the set pie.
  6. Serve: Slice and enjoy this silky, no-bake pumpkin cream pie with its rich yet light texture and perfectly balanced spice.

Notes

  • Be sure to remove excess moisture from the pumpkin puree to prevent a watery filling and to help the pie set properly.
  • If you don’t have instant vanilla pudding mix, you can substitute with prepared vanilla pudding, but make sure it’s thickened and chilled.
  • Use a 9-inch pie pan for best results and portion size.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours; overnight is best for full flavor and firmness.
  • The cream topping can be garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor and visual appeal.
