Pumpkin Filling
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 14 ounces marshmallow fluff
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1¼ cups crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup melted salted butter
Topping
- 8 ounces whipped topping or 3 cups whipped cream
Garnish (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Prepare the crust. In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, light brown sugar, and melted salted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Form the crust. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the filling.
- Make the pumpkin filling. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, marshmallow fluff, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble the pie. Spoon the pumpkin filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Add the topping. Spread whipped topping or freshly whipped cream over the pumpkin filling layer, covering it evenly for a beautiful finish.
- Chill the pie. Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and the flavors meld together.
- Garnish and serve. Before serving, optionally add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top for added flavor and decorative appeal.
Notes
- Ensure the pumpkin puree is unsweetened for best flavor balance.
- If marshmallow fluff is unavailable, you may substitute with an equal amount of mini marshmallows melted briefly and cooled.
- The pie is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for freshness.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free crumbs.
- To make your own whipped cream, whip heavy cream with a bit of sugar until stiff peaks form.
