RECIPE INGREDIENTS
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this amazing No Bake Pumpkin Pie Recipe (with Double Layers!):
INGREDIENT NOTES
Pumpkin Puree: 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. No extra spices should be added.
Premade Graham Cracker Crumb Crust: Try to find the 10″ size (9oz.), if possible. If you can only find the 9″ (6oz.) that’s perfectly fine. Just know that your layers will be super thick (nothing wrong with that!)
HOW TO MAKE A DOUBLE LAYER PUMPKIN PIE: STEP BY STEP
Here are some quick visual instructions. Remember that full instructions with the exact ingredients will be in the recipe card below!
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar. Gently stir in whipped topping. Evenly spread this first layer into the bottom of the pie crust.
Step 2: In another bowl beat pudding mixes and one cup of milk. Add pumpkin and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Step 3: Spread pumpkin layer evenly on top of the cream cheese layer. Chill the pie for at least 3-4 hours (or overnight!) before serving!
RECIPE TIPS & TRICKS
- Don’t skip chilling this pie before cutting and serving!! In fact, it’s best made the day before!
- If you are using a store-bought graham cracker crust, the plastic covering doubles as a pie cover if you just flip it over! Very handy for storing your pie!
⭐️ CONFIDENCE TIP ⭐️
To avoid lumps in your first layer, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with your other ingredients.
STORAGE & REHEATING
- Storage: Store pie in the fridge, covered for up to 4 days. If you are using a pre-made graham cracker crust, the plastic that lines the pie crust doubles as a pie cover if you flip it over! 🙂
- Freezing: You can freeze this pie! For best results cover it either with plastic wrap or cover it with the plastic pie cover that came with the graham cracker crust. Then, place it in a large plastic Ziploc bag and seal it tightly. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes and no. The bottom layer does have cheesecake-like elements, but it includes folding in whipped topping so it’s a bit “lighter” than a typical cheesecake. The top layer is similar to a pumpkin layer in a double layer pumpkin cheesecake like this one.
According to U.S. Dairy, dairy products should not sit out unrefrigerated for more than two hours. This pie contains cream cheese, so don’t let it sit out much longer than that! Plus, this pie is best served cold and right from the fridge anyway!
