No Bake Pumpkin Pie Ingredients
- Marshmallows – Mini marshmallows.

- Whipped topping – Thawed completely, not frozen.
- Spices and seasonings – Pumpkin pie spice and salt
- Non-stick spray – For spraying the pan.
How do you make a no-bake pumpkin pie? (step-by-step directions)
⭐ First, spray the springform pan with nonstick spray and set aside. Add the graham crackers to a large bag and crush them into tiny pieces using a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and mix until a wet sand-like mixture forms.
⭐ Next, place the mixture in the prepared pan and press it into the bottom and almost all the way up the sides. Place in the freezer until ready to use.
⭐ Then, add the marshmallows to a large mixing bowl and microwave until the marshmallows are creamy and not lumpy when stirred. Immediately add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice and salt to the melted marshmallows and stir well until fully combined.
⭐ Finally, add the whipped cream and whisk well. Use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients in and whisk again. Pour the mixture into the crust and spread evenly with a spoon. Refrigerate until the pie has set and can be sliced. Serve with a dollop of whipped topping.

Preparation
What kind of pan do I use for no bake pumpkin pie?
We recommend using a springform pan for this recipe to fit all the filling but you can use a normal pie pan as long as it is deep. This recipe will also make two 8-inch pies.
Can I use frozen whipped topping?
Make sure the whipped topping is completely thawed out before adding to the pumpkin mixture.
My marshmallows are still lumpy, is that okay?
Yes, there might still be tiny lumps in the marshmallow mixture. As long as the marshmallows are melted, the tiny lumps will mix in completely once the whipped topping is added.
Do I need to bake the crust first?
No, this recipe is completely no-bake so you don’t even have to bake the crust. Awesome, right?!
Can I make no bake pumpkin pie in advance?
Yes, this is a great make ahead recipe! Store in an airtight container in the fridge and serve the following day.
Storage and leftovers
How long does no bake pumpkin pie last?
You can store this pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Can I freeze no bake pumpkin pie?
Yep, this recipe freezes really well. Store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw for about an hour in the fridge before serving.
Tips and tricks
✅ Make sure the pumpkin pie puree mixture is completely mixed before pouring it into the crust.
✅ Store in the fridge for at least 8 hours to make sure the pie has set completely before cutting and serving.
✅ Make sure to spray the springform pan with nonstick spray to ensure your slices come out clean and perfect.
✅ Double check that you buy pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling for this recipe. The textures and flavors are very different!
Frequently asked questions
Is there a substitute for graham crackers in the crust?
If you prefer, you can use crushed digestive biscuits or crushed vanilla wafers as a substitute for graham crackers in the crust. You could also use a pre-baked homemade pie crust.
Can I add additional spices or flavorings to the filling?
Absolutely! If you want to enhance the flavor, you can add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of vanilla extract to the filling.
Can I make this pie gluten-free?
Yes, you can make this pie gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers or gluten-free cookies for the crust.
Can I add toppings to the pie other than whipped cream?
Absolutely! You can garnish the pie with crushed nuts, caramel sauce, or chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.
Can I make individual servings of the no-bake pumpkin pie?
Yes, you can make individual servings by using small tart pans or dessert cups instead of a large pie pan.
Can I add some texture or add-ins to the filling?
If you want some texture in your pie, you can fold in some chopped toasted pecans or walnuts into the filling before pouring it into the crust.

How to Make No Bake Pumpkin Pie
No Bake Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients
Crust:
- 12 graham cracker sheets
- 7 tablespoons butter (unsalted) melted
Filling:
- 7 cups mini marshmallows
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree 1 can
- 16 ounces whipped topping plus more for garnish/topping
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- nonstick spray
Instructions
- Prep a 9" springform pan with non-stick spray. Set pan aside.
- Crush the graham crackers to a fine crumb (a food processor or blender works well for this). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until mixture is similar in texture to wet sand.
- Press buttered graham cracker mixture into the springform pan covering the entire bottom and about halfway up the sides.
- Melt marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl, by heating on high power for about two (2) minutes, until marshmallows are creamy and smooth. Quickly stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping and mix until whipped topping is fully incorporated. Pour filling mixture into the pie crust, using a spatula to spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or overnight) to set, top with additional whipped cream before serving, if desired.
Notes
- A full graham cracker sheet refers to the rectangle, before you separate its parts.
- If you prefer not to make your own crust, you can use two (2) prepared graham cracker crusts to make two (2) smaller pies.
