Trish’s Tips
- When incorporating the whipped topping, fold gently to maintain a light, airy texture in the filling. This holds true if using whipped cream instead.
- Consider using individual serving cups or jars to make mini no-bake pumpkin pies for parties.
- A deep-dish pie pan works best for this recipe to accommodate all the filling.
- Get creative with garnishes! In addition to whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice, consider adding candied pecans, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or even a sprinkle of crushed ginger snaps for extra texture and flavor.
- Dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry before each cut when serving the pie for clean slices.
Can this pie be frozen?
Yes it can although the texture will change a bit. Cover tightly and store in an airtight, freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Can I use a different crust?
Sure! Gingersnap, OREO or a vanilla wafer crust would be delicious! You can also use a store bought graham cracker crust to save time.
