![layered pumpkin spice jello pie raw ingredients that are labeled](https://spaceshipsandlaserbeams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/layered-pumpkin-spice-jello-pie-ingredients.jpg)
You’ll need:
- 2 boxes (3.4 ounces each) of Jello Pumpkin Spice Instant Pudding Mix
- 2 cups of whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
- 1 ready-to-use graham cracker crust
- 1 (8-ounce) container of Cool Whip, thawed, divided in half
- Chopped pecans for garnish
Substitutions And Additions
GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST: Using a ready-made pie crust is the easiest option, but you could make your own homemade graham cracker crust from crushed graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits), sugar, and melted butter.
Combine the ingredients and press into a pie pan before continuing with the recipe.
JELLO PUMPKIN SPICE PUDDING MIX: If you can’t get hold of this, we suggest using vanilla pudding and adding an extra ¼ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
WHOLE MILK: For a creamier pie, use half and half cream instead of milk
PUMPKIN PIE SPICE: If you can’t get hold of the spice blend, you could make your own.
Mix together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg and ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves.
This will give you more than you need for this recipe but you can store the rest in a spice jar in your spice cabinet.
COOL WHIP: If whipped topping isn’t available where you live, then you could use whipped cream in a pinch.
CHOPPED PECANS: These are optional, and your pie will still be delicious if you leave them out.
How To Make This Layered Pumpkin Spice Jello Pie Recipe
STEP ONE: In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the dry pudding mixes, milk, and pumpkin pie spice.

Gloria says
This pie is unique and has a great flavor!
Lilly says
So, it’s says 2 ready made gramcracker Pie crust, am I making 2 pies? If so do I double the recipe with the other ingredients? Or is this for 2 pies. I’m confused. Your video shows 1 pie, but it looks like a deep pie.
Thank you!
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Lilly – this recipe will make one deep dish pie or two of the standard ready made crust size. Enjoy!
Margo says
Hello. Where do you find pumpkin spice pudding?? I would love to make this as my hubby loves pumpkin pie. Thank you.
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Margo – it’ll be in the baking aisle by the pudding and Jello boxes. It may be hard to find when it’s not pumpkin season, however. I would check online too and see if you can order it to have shipped if you want it right away. Enjoy! ๐

I bought the pumpkin spice pudding today at Meijer’s for 1.19 a box good buy usually 1.49 a box
Jen Angell says
I love this recipe! I forgot to review it last year after Thanksgiving but it was such a hit that the regular pumpkin pie was barely touched and I was asked to make it again for Christmas.
I describe this pie as pumpkin pie for people who just kinda like pumpkin pie but find it a bit too rich to eat a whole piece (thatโs me; thatโs why I originally made this). The recipe makes 2 pies; both pies were eaten or claimed as leftovers both times I made it.
