Ingredients
Scale
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 ounces Cool Whip (half of 8 oz tub)
- 1 premade graham cracker crumb pie crust (larger store-bought size)
Pumpkin Pudding Layer
- 2 (3.4 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 15 ounces canned pumpkin
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 4 ounces Cool Whip (remaining half of 8 oz tub)
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1 tablespoon sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in half of the Cool Whip (4 ounces) into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Make Pumpkin Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 packages of instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 cup milk, canned pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Assemble Pumpkin Layer: Spread the pumpkin pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.
- Top with Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining half of the Cool Whip (4 ounces) over the pumpkin layer to create a smooth, fluffy topping.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours before serving to allow it to set properly and for the flavors to meld.
Notes
- This no bake pumpkin pie is a quick and easy dessert made without an oven, perfect for busy days or hot weather.
- Using a larger premade graham cracker crust helps hold the generous layers and makes slicing easier.
- For best results, chill the pie overnight to allow the layers to fully set and flavors to develop.
- You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- This dessert is ideal for Thanksgiving or any fall gathering where pumpkin flavors are celebrated.
