Tips on Making No Bake Pumpkin Pie

This delectable pumpkin pie dessert is popular for its cinnamon and ginger, as well as its custard-like filling. Its brown top is also often garnished with a delicious layer of whipped cream. This pie is famous for its rich, smooth layers, with its crisp crust adding a wonderful texture. We know preparing for a huge spread for your family gathering can be stressful. So make sure to follow these tips to make this quick pumpkin dessert easier for you:

Roast your pumpkins beforehand. You can sprinkle in some of your favorite spices on them before roasting. Nutmeg or cloves will do amazingly well for this!
You can also make a canned pumpkin pie filling if only canned pumpkin puree or mix is available to you.
Turn this into a keto-friendly dessert by swapping the sweetened condensed milk with a version that’s low-carb. You can check our CAQ section down below for the steps.
You can make the pumpkin filling up to three days in advance. To store the filling, make sure it’s sealed in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator.
While you can let the pie chill for four hours or until set, we prefer to let it chill overnight.
You can make your pie more indulgent by topping it with a delicious Cool Whip. Don’t have any Cool Whip in the pantry? Make your own homemade whipped cream or coconut whipped cream.
Want to switch up your pumpkin pie crust? Replace it with gingersnaps, crushed wafer-style cookies like Nilla Wafers, or even a chocolate crust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is pumpkin pie good for you?

Pumpkins contain a lot of nutrients and minerals such as vitamins A, B, C and E. It’s also an excellent source of calcium, potassium, and beta-carotene. A no bake pumpkin pie is not made with as much sugar as an open face apple pie, so you get to enjoy a relatively healthier dessert.

Bake or No Bake Pumpkin Pie – which is better?

Both versions of the classic Thanksgiving dessert taste great! However, do note that a baked pumpkin pie is usually heavier and denser than the no bake pumpkin desserts . If you want something lighter and chilled, then this recipe is perfect for you.

Can I turn this recipe into a keto pumpkin pie?

Absolutely, you just need to replace the sweetened condensed milk with a version that’s keto-friendly. To make your own keto-friendly and sugar-free sweetened condensed milk, just mix two cups of heavy cream, two tablespoons of unsalted butter, and ⅓ cup of Gentle Sweet or any low-carb powdered sugar in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until it’s reduced by half. Don’t forget to stir occasionally to stop it from scorching!
