🎃 No-Bake Pumpkin Pie
Creamy, fluffy, and packed with warm pumpkin-spice flavor, this No-Bake Pumpkin Pie is the perfect dessert when you want something delicious without turning on the oven. It’s especially wonderful for Thanksgiving, fall gatherings, or an easy weeknight treat.
🛒 Ingredients
For the pie:
- 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin purée
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup cold milk
- 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the pumpkin mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, instant pudding mix, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping: Gently fold in about two-thirds of the whipped topping until the filling becomes light and fluffy.
- Fill the crust: Spoon the pumpkin mixture into the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the pie can fully set.
- Decorate and serve: Top with the remaining whipped topping and a light sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before slicing.
🍂 The Easiest Fall Dessert
No oven. No complicated baking. Just a creamy pumpkin filling, buttery graham cracker crust, and plenty of cozy fall spice.
For an extra-special touch, serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Tip: Make sure you use pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, since the latter already contains sugar and spices.
