This triple layer pumpkin pudding pie is an easy pumpkin pie recipe that has a homemade graham cracker crust and a creamy pumpkin filling. This is a perfect dessert for Thanksgiving dinner!
Place the graham crackers into a food processor or blender and pulse until fine crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the melted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix together.
Press the crumbs firmly down into a greased 9.5-inch pie pan using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup. Then gently press against the sides of the dish. Freeze until ready to use.
Pumpkin Spice Pudding
In a large bowl using a whisk, beat together the milk, both pumpkin pudding mixes, and the cinnamon until fully incorporated (about 1 minute). Set aside.
Whipped Cream
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form (1-2 minutes).
Assemble
Remove the pie pan from the freezer and spread 1 ½ cups of the pumpkin pudding mixture onto the pie crust (I use my silicone spatula). Measure out 1 ½ cups of the whipped cream, carefully mix that into the remaining pumpkin pudding, and spread over the pudding layer (this will be the second layer of the pie).
Use a clean silicone spatula to spread the remaining whipped cream over the top of the pie, making this your third layer.
Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the pie to properly set up and then serve. Keep any leftover pie slices in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
Notes:
Pie Crust: If desired, you can certainly use a store-bought graham cracker crust instead of making your ownPie Plate: Grease a 9.5-inch pie plate with cooking spray. This will make it a lot easier to remove each pie slice.Chill Time: Once the entire pie is assembled it needs to set up completely in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
