Ingredients
Method
Step-by-Step
- Whisk the pumpkin purée, instant vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and pumpkin-pie spice in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture, working carefully so the filling stays light and fluffy.
- Spoon the finished filling into the prepared 9-inch graham-cracker pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Cover the pie and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firmly set.
- Serve the pie cold, optionally adding extra whipped cream and a light sprinkle of pumpkin-pie spice just before serving.
Notes
Use pumpkin purée rather than pumpkin pie filling because pie filling already contains sugar and spices. Keep the milk cold and thaw the whipped topping completely before folding. For the cleanest slices, chill the pie overnight and wipe a sharp knife clean between cuts.
