Can I Use Canned Pumpkin in a No Bake Pie?

Yes, you can use canned pumpkin in no bake desserts.

Canned pumpkin is so convenient.

And I like that the flavor is consistent.

With a sugar pumpkin sometimes you don’t know how strongly the pie will end up tasting.

Though if I have time, it’s always fun to use a fresh pumpkin.

Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

Pumpkin pie filling comes spiced and ready to be used in a pie.

So then the spices we use in this recipe would be way too much.

 

 

Can You Freeze a No Bake Pumpkin Pie?

Yes, you can freeze  this no bake recipe for pumpkin pie!

Place it in an airtight container if you’ve got leftovers you’re saving.

Or wrap the whole pie tightly with plastic wrap.

Freeze for up to one month.

Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Boom! So easy to pull out for the holidays!

 

 

How to Store No Bake Pumpkin Pie

Store this pumpkin pie in the refrigerator.

Cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.

This is great because you want it in the fridge already, you can pull it out later for your party.

It will keep well for 3-4 days.

If you can resist eating it that long!

 

 

Is No Bake Pumpkin Pie Healthy?

No bake pumpkin pie is a delicious dessert. But it’s still a dessert!

Pumpkin puree actually has a lot of health benefits.

But this dessert should still be enjoyed in moderation. Like all desserts.

It has sugar and instant pudding and Cool Whip. 

Those aren’t usually kept in the health food aisle! Ha!

But you could always use homemade pumpkin puree. That’s probably healthier!

Though honestly, I think canned pumpkin is pretty healthy already.

 

 

Can I Use Real Whipped Cream Instead of Cool Whip in This Pumpkin Pie Recipe?

No, I don’t recommend using real whipped cream instead of Cool Whip in this pumpkin pie recipe.

The problem is that real whipped cream breaks down too fast.

 We actually need the stability that Cool Whip provides to keep the pie set!

Since it isn’t baking, this is actually really important.

So stick with Cool Whip.

 

 

What to Serve with Easy No Bake Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Serve this no bake pumpkin pie with whipped cream of course!

Are you one of those people who can barely see their pumpkin pie under the whipped cream?

I confess I’ve done it in the past! So yummy! Haha!

You could also toss on a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Yum!

Of course it’s the perfect dessert after a hearty meal like Thanksgiving dinner.

Isn’t that always the perfect time to serve it?

Though honestly, I’ve been known to serve pumpkin pie in the middle of the summer too! Why not?

Does No Bake Pumpkin Pie Need to Be Refrigerated?

The dairy ingredients and Cool Whip?

Those absolutely require refrigeration to keep the pie fresh and set!

Always store it in the fridge when not serving.
