INGREDIENTS for Layered Pumpkin Spice Jello Pie
You will need:
- 1 ready-to-use graham cracker crust
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) of Jell-O Pumpkin Spice Instant Pudding Mix
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tub (8 oz) of Cool Whip, thawed
- 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 from graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits), sugar and melted butter.
Jell-O Pumpkin Spice Instant Pudding Mix: If you can’t get hold of this, we suggest getting the vanilla flavor and adding extra 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 this, you could use cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg.
Cool Whip: if this 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 mix, milk, and pumpkin pie spice.
STEP TWO: Spread half of the pumpkin pudding mixture into the bottom of the graham cracker crust for the first layer. Leave the remaining half in the bowl.
STEP THREE: To the remaining pudding mix, add half of the tub of Cool Whip and stir together. Spread this into the graham cracker crust as layer two.
STEP FOUR: Top the pie with the remaining Cool Whip for the third layer.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top of the pie. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least four to six hours before serving.
PRO TIP: If you don’t have the time to chill your pie, you could pop it into the freezer to speed up the process. Just don’t let the pie become frozen!
STORage
IN THE FRIDGE: This Jello and Cool Whip pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Be sure to place it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
IN THE FREEZER: It’s possible to store Jello Cool Whip pie in the freezer for up to three months. The texture of the pudding might change and the crust might become soft, so we’d only recommend doing this if you have to.
If you’d like to try an interesting twist on the classic pumpkin pie recipe this fall, then this layered pumpkin spice jello pie is for you. With no baking required, this is a fun recipe to make at home with your kids.
