About This Recipe

I’ve always been more of a fan of chilled desserts. Ice cream, no bake cheesecake, you name it! This easy pumpkin dessert is certainly no exception!

This creamy dessert features a crunchy and sweet homemade graham cracker crust, and creamy pumpkin and cream cheese layer, topped with light and fluffy whipped cream. It makes the perfect holiday or Thanksgiving dessert. Honestly it’s a great dessert for any time of the year!

Even though this delicious treat is lightened up, it certainly doesn’t taste that way! There is zero sacrifice on flavor here! It is still full of the fresh pumpkin and fall flavors you love! You can enjoy without any of the sugar high or guilt!

This delicious recipe is a twist on a classic pumpkin pie recipe. And no baking required – not even for the crust!! But if you’re looking for a traditional pie recipe, I got you covered on that too with my Healthy Pumpkin Pie recipe.

It gets better! This no bake dessert can even be made ahead of time! Just wait to add the whipped cream until you are ready to serve!

Why You’ll Love This No Bake Pumpkin Dessert

  • Simple ingredients – minimal ingredients and takes just 10 minutes to prep.
  • Lightened up! This easy recipe is significantly lightened up from a traditional pumpkin pie recipe.
  • Can easily be made gluten-free.
  • So easy to make – seriously the easiest ever no-bake recipe.
  • No oven required – not even for the crust!
  • Satisfies your sweet tooth for all things pumpkin in a healthy way, without the sugar crash!

Ingredients and Substitutions

Ingredients no bake pumpkin dessert pie.

Graham cracker crust:

  • Graham cracker crumbs– I used sheets of graham crackers and crushed them. To make this recipe gluten free use gluten free graham crackers. I like Kinnikinnick. I also think using ginger snaps and making this a gingersnap cookie crust would also taste amazing!
  • Granulated sweetener– I used Truvia to keep the calories down some. Sugar or any granulated sweetener of choice would work though!
  • Butter– I used unsalted butter. You can also use light butter if you wish.

Pumpkin pie:

  • Cream cheese- I used reduced fat cream cheese.
  • Vanilla pudding mix- I used sugar free vanilla instant pudding mix. For dairy-free pudding, I recommend Simply Delish.
  • Pumpkin puree- I used canned pumpkin puree. Be sure you are using pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie mix.
  • Protein powder– I used PEScience (code Laurenfitfoodie to save!) vanilla or pumpkin flavor would work best here! Use your favorite brand. You can also just omit the protein powder if you wish.
  • Milk- I used low fat milk. You can use any type of milk here.
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • Vanilla extract
  • Whipped topping– I used Cool Whip Light whipped topping. For a dairy-free/vegan option, I love this dairy-free whipped topping.

How To Make

The full printable recipe is below, but let me walk you through the process so you know what to expect when you’re making it!

6. Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours. Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream to serve!

How To Store

Store leftover pumpkin dessert in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap in the fridge or freezer. This dessert will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

FAQ: No Bake Pumpkin Dessert

Can this dessert be made gluten free?

Absolutely! Just be sure to use gluten free graham crackers. I recommend Kinnikinnick brand, but if you have a favorite, use that!

Can I used something else besides graham crackers for the crust?

I haven’t ever tried it, but I definitely think you could! I think gingersnap cookies or vanilla wafers would be delicious. Try it with your favorite crunchy cookie and report back to let me know how it turned out!

Can you freeze this No Bake Pumpkin Dessert?

Yes, I actually like to keep mine in the freezer because I love when it’s more frozen and solid like an ice box cake! As with anything you are freezing, just make sure to wrap it air tight to prevent freezer burn.
