Instructions
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding, milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until smooth and lump-free; this should take about 2 minutes.
Gently incorporate Cool Whip into the pumpkin mixture, maintaining an airy consistency. Use a spatula and fold until no streaks remain, which helps keep the filling light and fluffy.
Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust, smoothing it out evenly with the back of the spoon. Each cup should be filled nearly to the top for a generous portion.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the pie to set properly. The chill time enhances the flavors and helps achieve the perfect texture.
Top with whipped cream before enjoying. Add a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice or crushed graham cracker for presentation if you desire.
Notes
For a stress-free dessert, consider making this pie a day in advance. Just cover it and refrigerate; the flavors meld beautifully overnight!
