- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 ounces Cool Whip or other whipped cream (half of an 8-ounce container)
Middle Layer
- ¼ cup instant vanilla pudding mix
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg

Top Layer
- 4 ounces Cool Whip or other whipped cream (remainder of the 8-ounce container)

Crust

Instructions
- Prepare Bottom Layer: In a bowl, blend softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and half of the Cool Whip with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Bottom Layer in Crust: Fill the pre-made 9-inch pie crust evenly with the cream cheese mixture, spreading it smoothly.
- Prepare Middle Layer: In a separate bowl, mix instant vanilla pudding mix and milk, stirring until thickened. Then add canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon and stir until well combined.
- Add Middle Layer: Spread the pumpkin pudding mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese layer in the crust.
- Top Layer: Spread the remaining Cool Whip on top of the pumpkin layer to cover it completely.
- Garnish: Sprinkle some pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon over the top whipped cream layer for decoration.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 to 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely before serving.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix, to achieve the best flavor and texture.
- Instant vanilla pudding mix is essential for quick setting and creaminess.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for smooth mixing and no lumps.
- Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to keep it fresh.
- You can use a graham cracker crust or any pre-made pie crust you prefer.
