How to make our Creamy Pumpkin Pie recipe
To start our recipe off, we’re going to get our pumpkin cream filling made. For that, first whisk together your milk and pudding mix. Mix until it has thickened up and no clumps remain.
With that mixed up, we need to add our pumpkin next. Add your pumpkin and your pumpkin pie spice to the bowl with your mixed pudding. Stir all this together until well-combined.
The next step is going to need a bit of a delicate hand. We need to mix in some of our Cool Whip in with this pumpkin filling, but we want to keep it as airy as possible. With that in mind, carefully fold the Cool Whip into the pumpkin pie filling.
That’s the filling all done! The next step is adding it to our pie crust. Again, carefully add the cream pie filling to your graham cracker crust- trying not to knock too much air out of it.
Before we pop this thing into the fridge to chill for a few hours, we’re going to give it an extra whipped topping layer. You should have enough Cool Whip leftover to spread a quick layer over your cream pie filling.
As one last decorative touch, sprinkle a bit of extra pie spice over the Cool Whip topping before tossing the pie into the fridge. It should take around 5-6 hours for the whole affair to set up. If it hasn’t fully set up by then, feel free to cheat a little and toss your pie into the freezer for up to an hour.
Once the pie has fully set, you’re free to dig in. Hack off a generous slice, plate it up, and enjoy!
