No Bake Pumpkin Dessert Pie with Graham Cracker Crust

This creamy No Bake Pumpkin Dessert is SO luscious and delicious! It’s great for those early or warmer fall days where you still want to enjoy the classic flavors without having to turn the oven on. Quick to prep then let it chill for an hour and you’re good to go!

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!

INGREDIENTS

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 INSERT HERE (not sure if you used swerve, monk fruit, or reg sugar)
• Butter– I used unsalted butter.

Pumpkin pie:

• Cream cheese- I used reduced fat cream cheese.
• Vanilla pudding mix- I used sugar free vanilla instant pudding mix.
• 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. PEScience vanilla or pumpkin flavor would work best here! Use my code Laurenfitfoodie to save 10% on your purchase. Not all protein powders have the same formula or consistency, so remember that when making the recipe. You may need to add less protein powder (or add slightly more liquid).
• Milk- I used low fat milk.
• Pumpkin pie spice
• Vanilla extract
• Whipped topping– I used Cool Whip Light whipped topping.
• Whipped cream (for serving)

HOW TO MAKE

For the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sweetener and melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into a 9- inch pie pan for the bottom layer. Make sure to press down well. Place the crust in the fridge to chill until ready to fill.

For the pumpkin pie: Combine all the ingredients (except the cool whip) in a large bowl until no clumps remain using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Then fold in the Cool Whip. Spread pumpkin cream cheese layer in prepared crust using a rubber spatula. 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.
