Ingredients You’ll Need to Make This No Bake Pumpkin Pie:

Crust

• 3 cups ginger snap cookies
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling

• 1 (3.4-ounce) box of instant vanilla pudding
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
• 1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

How to Make This No Bake Pumpkin Pie:

1. Use butter or shortening to grease a 9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
2. Crust: Add the ginger snap cookies to a food processor and run at high speed until the cookies are fine crumbs.
3. While running the processor at low speed, slowly pour in the melted butter, then continue blending until combined. (You may have to stir the mixture as the butter likes to stick to the bottom of the food processor.)
4. Pour the crumbs into the greased pie dish, and press them firmly on the base and the sides. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
5. Pumpkin Pie Filling: Combine the vanilla pudding mix and cold heavy whipping cream in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until smooth and thick.
6. Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, and continue whisking until well-mixed and smooth. The filling should be fairly thick.
7. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the frozen pie crust and smooth with a spatula.
8. Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for 6 hours, but overnight is best.
9. Top with whipped cream, optional, and serve chilled.
10. Enjoy!

FAQS:

Substitutions

• Use 2-3 tablespoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice instead of the individual spices. Pumpkin Pie Spice can be much more expensive, though.
• Use graham crackers instead of ginger snap cookies for the crust.
• Use fresh pumpkin puree, if it’s in season.
• Use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.

Serving Temperature

• Chilled.

Storage Instructions

• Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
• Store covered in plastic wrap and foil in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter and the cookie crumbs are well mixed before pressing them into the pie dish. Otherwise, you may end up with a crumbly, unstable crust.
• Heavy whipping cream mixed with the instant vanilla pudding is thicker than just adding milk, and it will help the pie filling set better.
• To get a cleaner slice, freeze the pie about an hour before serving. This will help keep the pie slices from getting too melty when you serve them.
• Adjust the spices to your taste! This is why I like using individual spices instead of Pumpkin Pie Spice. Plus, the individual spices have a stronger flavor.
