This Pumpkin Chiffon Pie is a light and creamy dessert combining smooth cream cheese, fluffy whipped topping, and a spiced pumpkin chiffon filling all layered in a crunchy graham cracker crust. Perfectly chilled and topped with optional nuts and extra whipped topping, it’s an ideal treat for autumn or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1–1/2 cups whipped topping
  • 1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)

Chiffon Filling

  • 1 cup cold whole milk
  • 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts
  • Additional whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Make the cream cheese layer: In a bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Using a spatula or mini offset spatula, evenly spread this cream cheese mixture into the premade 9-inch graham cracker crust.
  2. Whip up the chiffon filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cold whole milk and instant vanilla pudding mixes on low speed just until combined. Increase the speed to high and beat for two full minutes to allow the pudding to thicken properly. Let the mixture stand for three minutes to set. Carefully fold in the canned pumpkin along with the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves until fully blended.
  3. Assemble the pie: Spread the prepared pumpkin chiffon mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer already set in the graham cracker crust.
  4. Chill the pie: Place the completed pie in the refrigerator and chill for two to three hours or until the chiffon layer is fully set and firm to the touch.
  5. Serve with toppings: Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with chopped nuts and additional whipped topping to enhance texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth layer without lumps.
  • Use cold milk as directed to help pudding set correctly.
  • Allow pudding mixture to rest after beating for proper thickening.
  • Chilling time is important for the pie to fully set and hold its shape.
  • Optional toppings add texture but can be omitted for a nut-free version.
