Ingredients
Scale
For the Bottom Layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 8-ounce tub Cool Whip or other whipped cream
For the Top Layer:
- 2 cups canned pumpkin
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 3.4-ounce box instant vanilla pudding
- 1 cup milk
For the Crust:
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (graham cracker crusts recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bottom Layer:
In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese, sugar, and one 8-ounce tub of whipped cream. Blend with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. - Fill the Crusts:
Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between the two pre-made graham cracker pie crusts. Spread it out to cover the bottom of each crust. - Prepare the Top Layer:
In another bowl, mix the instant vanilla pudding and milk, stirring until it thickens.
Add the canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pudding mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. - Assemble the Pie:
Spread the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer in both pie crusts. - Top with Whipped Cream:
Use the second 8-ounce container of whipped cream to top each pie, spreading it evenly over the pumpkin mixture. - Refrigerate:
Refrigerate the pies for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the pies to set completely.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the bottom layer.
- You can use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a fresher taste.
- If you want to add extra spice, you can increase the amount of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to suit your preferences.
- This pie is best served cold, so be sure to refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
- You can also top the pies with a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped nuts for extra flair.
