Easy No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Recipe

This No-Bake Pumpkin Pie is a quick, easy, and decadent dessert that brings all the warm flavors of fall without the need for an oven. With a creamy pumpkin filling spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and a buttery graham cracker crust, this pie is perfect for Thanksgiving, fall gatherings, or whenever you crave a sweet, comforting treat. Best of all, it’s super simple to make and can be prepped ahead of time!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or homemade)
  • 1 can (15 oz) of pure pumpkin puree
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix until completely combined and smooth.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and airy filling.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the pumpkin mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  4. Chill: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. The longer it chills, the better the flavors meld.
  5. Serve: Top with a generous amount of whipped cream before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Crust Options: You can use a traditional graham cracker crust or make your own from scratch with crushed graham crackers, butter, and sugar.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added spices and sweeteners.
  • No Whipped Cream? You can also substitute the heavy cream with canned coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
