Ingredients

2 cups canned pumpkin

1/2 cup sugar

8 ounces cream cheese softened

2 8-ounce containers of Cool Whip or other whipped cream

1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 3.4-ounce box instant vanilla pudding

1 cup milk

2 pre made 9-inch graham cracker crusts

Instructions

STEP ONE:

Set out your graham cracker crusts so they’re ready for the filling.

STEP TWO:

For the bottom layer, add cream cheese, sugar, and one 8-ounce tub of whipped cream in a separate bowl and blend well with a hand mixer. Fill your pre-made crusts with this layer evenly.

STEP THREE:

Next, mix pudding and milk and stir until thick. Add 2 cups of canned pumpkin. Add pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until blended. Put this on top of the cream cheese layer.

STEP FOUR:

For the top layer, use the second 8-ounce container of Cool Whip to top the pies. I suggest sprinkling a little pumpkin spice on top. It looks lovely and is oh-so-delicious!

Notes

Adjusting Spices: Feel free to customize the spice level to your taste. Adding extra cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice can give the pie a more robust, seasonal flavor. Fresh spices make a noticeable difference in aroma and taste.
Using Fresh Pumpkin: If you prefer to use fresh pumpkin purée instead of canned, ensure it is thick and well-drained. Fresh pumpkin purée can sometimes have more liquid, which may affect the pie’s consistency.
Make-Ahead Option: This pie can be prepared up to a day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This is a great option for holiday prep, giving you one less thing to worry about on the day of your gathering.
Serving Ideas: Try garnishing with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, pecans, or even a caramel drizzle for extra flavor. Mini versions of this recipe in individual jars make perfect single-serve options for parties.
