    If you're looking for something other than the traditional pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving Day or Christmas, try this pumpkin cheesecake pie, instead.

    It's a cross between a no bake cheesecake and pie, so it's light, fluffy and slightly sweet. Best of all, this is a super easy, no-bake dessert recipe!

    And if you're wondering why I'm talking about No-Bake Desserts and no bake recipes in the fall, it's all about making your life easier, especially during the holidays. Holiday desserts should be as simple as possible.

    I found this easy pumpkin pie recipe in my grandma's recipe collection a few years ago. This easy recipe is now one of our favorite fall desserts.

    Ingredients

    You only need simple ingredients for this no bake pumpkin pie with cream cheese. Find them in your grocery store or online.

    • Cream cheese -- softened at room temperature
    • Butter -- softened at room temperature
    • Vanilla extract
    • Powdered sugar
    • Pumpkin puree -- canned pumpkin puree not canned pumpkin pie filling
    • Pumpkin pie spice
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Maple syrup
    • Graham cracker pie crust -- I use a store-bought graham cracker crust

    As always, you can find detailed instructions in the printable recipe card below.

    How to Make No Bake Pumpkin Pie

    You start out by creaming butter and softened cream cheese with a hand mixer in a large bowl.

    Then, you gradually add the remaining ingredients to the cream cheese mixture.

    I ended up changing the original recipe a little. Nothing major.

    I added a little cinnamon because I just love the stuff, and I also added some maple syrup for extra flavor.

    After the pumpkin pie filling is blended, you just scoop it into a pre-made graham cracker crust. Honestly, how easy is that?!

    Refrigeration Time

    You can whip up this easy no bake pumpkin pie without Cool Whip in just a few minutes -- it's super simple. But even though it takes just a few minutes to make, it needs to sit in the fridge for about 4-6 hours to firm up.

    So, plan on making this pie the day before you actually need it, and it'll be perfect!

    This is one delicious pumpkin pie! Serve it with fresh whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.

    I know a lot of people have pumpkin pie or pumpkin desserts for Christmas, so even if you have your Thanksgiving menu planned already, you can just save it for next month!

    Even my picky eaters loved it, and they're not all that crazy about classic pumpkin pie. So, even if you're not a huge fan of traditional baked pumpkin pie, you might really like this no-bake pumpkin dessert.

    How to Store

    How long does no bake pumpkin pie last in the refrigerator?

    Refrigerate a no bake pumpkin pie in an airtight container, and it will last for 3 to 4 days. Store leftover pie in an airtight container.

    Can you freeze no bake pumpkin pie?

    You can freeze a no bake pumpkin pie for up to 3 months for best taste. Make sure it is wrapped well.

    Variations

    This easy pumpkin pie recipe works with a 9-inch pie crust or 10-inch pie crust. Make your own homemade graham cracker crust using graham crackers and melted butter if you like.

    You can use a regular pie crust instead of a graham cracker crust if you prefer.

    Turn this pie recipe into bite-sized pumpkin pie bites with my no bake pumpkin cheesecake cookie cups recipe.
