No-Bake Pumpkin Pie

by Alli

This no-bake pumpkin pie is light, fluffy and so delicious. You won’t miss the traditional pumpkin pie at all. Plus, there’s no baking involved so it frees up your oven space.

Go a different (and easy!) route with your pumpkin pie and make a No-bake Pumpkin Pie instead! Think of it as a pumpkin creme pie, because that’s exactly how it tastes! 

Helpful Hint: Make sure you top it off with some extra whipped topping for a gorgeous finish. 

Pumpkin Pie Is Perfect For Thanksgiving Day (or any day!)

Whenever I’m preparing Thanksgiving Dinner, I do as much as I can during the week leading up to the big day.

I love that this no-bake Pumpkin Pie can be made the night before (or a couple of days in advance!) because it needs to rest in the fridge for 8 hours or until set. 

You can download my free Thanksgiving Planner here! It really helps keep you organized when hosting Thanksgiving dinner. 

Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without pumpkin pie, mom’s cornbread dressing, chicken and dumplings, and sweet potato casserole! Those dishes are always on my menu. 

We always deep fry our turkey! Once you deep-fry a turkey (so easy), you’ll never go back to the old way. It’s always tender, juicy, and has a crispy skin. I always use my mom’s turkey rub for the seasoning.

How To Make No-Bake Pumpkin Pie

Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

Place the graham crackers in a large ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin, OR place the crackers in a food processor and blend until finely crushed.

Place the graham cracker mixture in the prepared springform pan and press onto the bottom and almost all the way up the sides. Place in the freezer until ready to use.

How To Store Leftover No-Bake Pumpkin Pie

If you have any leftovers, refrigerate the pie, covered, for up to 5 days.

To freeze, place the pie in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Be sure to thaw for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving.

Helpful Tips For Making No-Bake Marshmallow Pumpkin Pie

  • Make sure the whipped topping is not frozen! It needs to be thawed for it to properly mix in.
  • When mixing in the melted marshmallows, they may leave tiny lumps in the mixture, that’s ok, they mix in once the whipped topping is added.
  • If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a normal pie pan, but it will need to be a deep pie pan, or you can make two 8-inch pies out of this recipe.
  • Do not pour your mixture into the crust until you have mixed it well, all the way through to the bottom.
  • You don’t need parchment paper for this recipe.
  • You don’t need to cook the crust for this recipe.
