awesome no-bake pumpkin pie

[ardwinna]

This is one of my son's favorite desserts.

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. sugar
1-1/2 c. thawed Cool Whip or whipped cream
1 six-oz. graham cracker pie crust
1 c. milk 2 pkg. vanilla instant pudding (4-serving size)
1 15-16 oz. can pumpkin
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves

Mix cream cheese, sugar, and Tbsp. of milk in a large bowl with a fork until smooth. Gently stir in Cool Whip or whipped cream. Spread this mixture on the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Pour 1 cup of milk into bowl, and add the pudding mix, beating with whisk until well blended. Stir the pumpkin and spices into the pudding mix with whisk, and mix well. Pour into pie crust and smooth it over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate at least three hours, and garnish with additional whipped cream and nuts if desired.

I've made this exact recipe before and it's DELICIOUS! The best pumpkin pie I've ever had. I'm so glad you posted this. I wanted to make it for dinner on Thursday and couldn't find my recipe anywhere. YAY! Thanks


Love, Heather

You're very welcome! I'm glad I helped somebody out!

I made this recipe today, also, but I had to modify it a bit. We've eliminated all artificial flavors and colors from our diets, so instant pudding and Cool Whip are out. I used homemade vanilla pudding, but cut the liquid in half, and just made some regular whipped cream to put in it. We haven't tasted it yet, but I hope it turned out okay!

Happy Turkey Day,
