Recipe walkthrough: Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

  • Step 1: Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small sauce pan and give a good stir. Bring to a boil and then allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Step 2: In a large bowl add the pumpkin puree, condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice and using a hand mixer mix well.
  • Step 3: Stir in the gelatin and the whipped topping.
  • Step 4: Take 3 Tablespoons of Graham Cracker Crumbs and drop into a cupcake pan (or muffin tin) and press down with your thumb. Repeat in all 12 sections of the pan.
  • Step 5: Spoon the pumpkin mixture on top of the Graham cracker crumbs, evenly, filling each well.
  • Step 6: Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for a minimum of 3 hours.
  • Step 7: When you're ready to serve (or close to it) remove from the freezer. Pipe a little whipped topping on top and dust with pumpkin pie spice, to serve.

Hint: Use a plastic knife and insert down the sides of the mini pumpkin pies. Slide a little and they should come free. This will ensure you don't scratch up your cupcake pan.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas

  • Cream Cheese - this is used a lot in no bake desserts.
  • Brown Sugar - you could add a little to the graham cracker crumbs.
  • Cinnamon - if you don't have pumpkin pie spice you could just use a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  • Paper Liners - if you want to freeze them in these, in the cupcake pan.
  • Vanilla Pudding - add a little of this in place of the whipped topping.
  • Coconut Milk - this could be used instead of the sweetened condensed milk. You'll need to add a sweetener though.
  • Vanilla Extract - add a little vanilla for another flavor.
  • Heavy Cream - You could whip up some heavy cream for the topping instead of the frozen whipped topping.

How to store leftovers

I like to keep these no bake mini pumpkin pies in the freezer right up until you're close to serving. You could take them out sooner though, but they'll need to at least be in the refrigerator if you're not serving them within the hour.

They can be stored for up to 3 months in the freezer. 1 week in the refrigerator.

Mel's kitchen notes

You could make this dessert in an individual mason jar. The small ones that you could serve a dessert. Or in a small glass.

I like to keep the pumpkin pies in the freezer right up until you're getting ready to serve. They only need about 20 minutes to come to a good serving consistency. They hold their shape nicely like this.

      You're right, I made a change to the ingredients. It should just be 1 envelope (so 1/4 ounce). I've updated the post, thanks for pointing that out!
