Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 9 inch graham cracker crust
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree not pie filling
  • 1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 8 oz package Cool Whip
  • Whipped cream to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Make the filling. In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, instant pudding mix, cold milk, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon for about 2 minutes, until smooth and noticeably thick.
  • Fold in the Cool Whip. Add the thawed Cool Whip and gently fold it in with a spatula until no streaks remain. Don’t overmix, or the filling will lose its fluffy texture.
  • Fill the crust. Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top.
  • Chill. Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the cleanest slices.
  • Serve. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then slice with a knife dipped in warm water.

Notes

  • Use instant pudding. Cook-and-serve pudding won’t set without heat.
  • Thaw the Cool Whip in the fridge, not the microwave, so it stays light and airy.
  • Make ahead: Make it up to 2 days before serving. It’s an easy way to free up oven space on Thanksgiving.
  • Storage: Keep it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    Freezing: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. Or serve it partly frozen as an icebox-style pie.
  • No Cool Whip? Whip 1½ cups heavy cream with ¼ cup powdered sugar to stiff peaks and use it in place of the Cool Whip.
