  • Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Bottom Layer

  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces Cool Whip or other whipped cream (half of an 8-ounce container)

Pie Crust

  • 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust (preferably graham cracker crust)

Middle Layer

  • ¼ cup instant vanilla pudding mix
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon

Top Layer

  • 4 ounces Cool Whip or other whipped cream (remaining half of the 8-ounce container)
  • Additional pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bottom Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and half of the whipped cream (4 ounces). Blend thoroughly using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fill Pie Crust: Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the pre-made 9-inch pie crust, smoothing the surface to create an even layer.
  3. Prepare Middle Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the mixture thickens, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add Pumpkin and Spices: Stir in the canned pumpkin puree along with pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  5. Layer Middle Mixture: Carefully spread the pumpkin pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.
  6. Top with Whipped Cream: Spread the remaining whipped cream (4 ounces) over the pumpkin layer, smoothing it gently to cover the pie surface.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon lightly over the whipped cream topping to enhance flavor and presentation.
  8. Chill the Pie: Cover the pie and refrigerate it for at least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use a pre-made graham cracker crust for convenience and best flavor.
  • Chilling the pie overnight enhances the texture and taste.
  • For a firmer middle layer, ensure the pudding has thickened before mixing in the pumpkin.
  • This pie is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated until served.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Adjust the spices according to your preference for a milder or stronger pumpkin spice flavor.
