  • Author: Natalia
  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A simple, creamy no-bake pumpkin pie with a crunchy graham cracker crust and whipped maple cream topping. This dessert requires zero oven time and is perfect for busy holiday gatherings or quick weeknight cravings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 pinch salt (for crust)
  • 1 can (15oz / 425g) 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for filling)
  • ¼ cup real maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt (for filling)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, very cold (for whipped topping)
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup (for whipped topping)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped topping)
  • 1 pinch salt (for whipped topping)

Instructions

  1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and a pinch of salt until resembling wet sand.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass to pack it down tightly. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, 1 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Tap the dish gently to remove air bubbles.
  5. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, preferably 4 hours or overnight, until the filling is set.
  6. When ready to serve, whip the cold heavy cream, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  7. Spoon or dollop the whipped maple cream on top of the chilled pie.
  8. Garnish with extra pumpkin pie spice or crushed graham crackers. Slice with a sharp knife and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure pumpkin puree is 100% pure, not pie filling. Keep all equipment and cream very cold for whipping. The pie tastes better the next day as flavors meld. Do not freeze as texture may become watery.
