No Bake Pies are one of my favorite desserts to make and bring to parties and gatherings. This No Bake Pumpkin Pie is perfect for the Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving parties and meals! Enjoy this easy to make pie!
I love making No Bake Pies. They are really simple to make, and you don’t have to do any baking. This No Bake Pumpkin Pie is my newest No Bake pie I’ve tried making. Once September came, it was pumpkin time at my house.
No Bake Pies are something I love to make year-round, like my Peanut Butter Pie. Well, as much as I do not agree with this statement, pumpkin is most popular in the fall, so I had to wait until now to share it with you all!
How to Make No Bake Pumpkin Pie:
I use a store-bought graham cracker crust, but you could make your own if you want. Mix together your pie filling ingredients in a large bowl.
Add in the pumpkin puree and then fold in the whipped topping to complete the filling. Spoon it into your pie crust and then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours.
Ingredient Notes:
- Vanilla Pudding Mix: You can use sugar free pudding, but it does alter the taste a little.
- Brown Sugar
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: Only the best spice of all time.
- Half and Half: You want to make sure this is kept cold.
- Pumpkin Puree: Make sure you are not using Pumpkin Pie Filling.
- Vanilla Extract
- Whipped Topping
- Graham Cracker Crust: Yes, I use a store-bought pie crust for this recipe but you could of course make your own.
- Whipped Cream for garnish
Directions:
Step One – Add instant vanilla pudding mix, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice to a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Tip: Make sure you have Instant pudding mix, and not the cook and serve kind. It will not work without the instant pudding mix.
Step Two – Pour half and half into your mixing bowl and whisk until combined and the pudding starts to thicken.
Step Three – Then add in your pumpkin puree and mix to combine. Last fold in the whipped topping.
Step Four – Spoon mixture into your prepared graham cracker crust and brush your spoon over the top to smooth the pie into an even later. Place in the refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
- Tip: If using a store-bought pie crust remember they are thinner than a homemade pie crust. The pie filling is heavy so it could cause the crust to break or crumble a bit if not kept cold.
Step Five – Once your pie has chilled remove it from the refrigerate and decorate with whip cream then slice. Serve and enjoy!
Chilling Time:
The Pie takes at least 3 or 4 hours to chill and be set to serve. I recommend keeping it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it so that it stays coldest.
The longer the pie sits out, the more time it has to become runny. Put back in the refrigerator when done slicing and serving.
Can you substitute the half and half?
I do not recommend substituting the half and half with milk. Milk may be less fat, but it is not as thick as the half and half.
You could substitute the half and half with heavy whipping cream if you have that on hand instead.
Storing Directions
Refrigerator: Keep in the fridge for 5-7 days.
Make-ahead: This dessert is perfect to make a day or two before a big holiday.
What do you top your pie with?
I love this pie just as is, to be honest. But for the sake of pretty pictures, I topped this pie with whipped cream.
