My No-Bake Pumpkin Pie is rich and creamy. The perfect mix of pumpkin, cream cheese, and Cool Whip make a fluffy filling that is will have everyone asking for seconds. Not only is it delicious but easy to make. Whip this up in 10 minutes.
If you can’t get enough of pumpkin pie spice you must try my Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake. So good! This pumpkin bread made into muffins are so good I got the nickname “muffin lady'”
This No-Bake Pumpkin Pie is a great twist on the classic pumpkin pie but full of pumpkin flavor. My family actually likes this lighter and fluffier version of pumpkin pie better than the classic.

How to Make No Bake Pumpkin Pie
You are going to love how quickly this pie goes together. The best part is it really needs to be made ahead so it has time to set! A great make ahead dessert means no fussing with dessert on the day of a gathering.
If you can’t make it the day ahead just make sure you plan ahead so the pie has time to chill thoroughly (at least 3 hours).
In a mixing bowl mix the sugars and cream cheese together until well blended. Next, mix in the spices and pumpkin. Mix until smooth.
Next mix in the Cool Whip.
TIP: Mix in 1/2 the container then gently fold in the remaining Cool Whip keep the mixture light and fluffy.
Place the filling in a prepared graham cracker crust. Chill the pie overnight. Before serving garnish with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Quick and easy!
I think you and your friends will love this no-bake pumpkin pie (or pumpkin cheesecake recipe)! They will never know you were able to whip it up only 10 minutes if you use a “ready” graham cracker crust.
If you have a little more time, make a homemade graham cracker crust.

This has been a HUGE hit in our family who are all regular pumpkin pie lovers! We have really enjoyed this lighter option after several heavy holiday meals. 1st time was by exact recipe for Thanksgiving and was a BIG hit. 2nd time was for Christmas but I used a Biscoff cookie crust and put it in a 9×13 dish for easier serving (I added a 3rd of a tub more whipped topping and extra spices too, so there was enough for a good sized layer still), even bigger hit! And 3rd time was on New Years Day, a VEGAN version for my mother-in-law. Added a splash of molasses this time to help adjust the flavor of the vegan cream cheese and vegan whipped topping, again turned out VERY GOOD.
This one is definitely a keeper for our family!!
Thank you for sharing so many great resources! Can’t wait to share this 🙂
