Print Recipe

A creamy, perfectly spiced no-bake pumpkin pie that comes together in under 15 minutes with just five ingredients. This foolproof dessert is light, mousse-like, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (optional)
  • Extra Cool Whip for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thaw your Cool Whip. If you forgot to put it in the fridge overnight, let it sit on the counter for about 45 minutes to an hour. You want it soft enough to scoop but still cold.
  2. In your large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and the pumpkin pie spice. Whisk them together until evenly distributed.
  3. Add the entire can of pumpkin puree. Using your whisk or electric mixer, beat until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Fold in the thawed Cool Whip. If using an electric mixer, switch to low speed and mix just until combined. If whisking by hand, use a gentle folding motion. The final mixture should be light, fluffy, and a beautiful pale orange color.
  5. If using brown sugar, sprinkle it in now and mix gently until incorporated. Taste and adjust spice or sweetness to your liking.
  6. Pour the filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly. Give the pie a few gentle taps on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  7. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  8. Place the pie in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set.
  9. Once fully set, spread a layer of extra Cool Whip on top if desired. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts. Serve cold.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight. Do not overmix the Cool Whip. Keep pie refrigerated until serving. Use instant pudding mix, not cook-and-serve.
