Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to create this decadent dessert:

4 oz cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup granulated sugar

8 oz Cool Whip (divided in half)
1 pre-made 10-inch graham cracker crust
½ box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)

½ cup milk
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

½ tsp nutmeg
½ tbsp cinnamon

Pro Tip: Be sure to grab pure canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor and consistency.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Bottom Layer

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, and half the Cool Whip. Blend until smooth.

Spread evenly into the graham cracker crust.

2. Mix the Pumpkin Filling

In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened.
Stir in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Spread the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer.

3. Top with Cool Whip

Spread the remaining Cool Whip evenly over the pumpkin layer.
Sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top for decoration.

4. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour to allow it to set completely.
Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing, creamy dessert.

Variations to Try

Crust: Swap the graham cracker crust for a gingersnap, Oreo, or chocolate crust for a unique twist.

Whipped Cream: Use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a homemade touch.
Pudding Flavor: Experiment with cheesecake or pumpkin-flavored pudding for extra flavor.
