    6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help the pie set. Serve and enjoy!

    Hint: You can serve and eat this pie right after spreading the pumpkin cream cheese topping but the pie will have a better texture and blend if you refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    Substitutions

    • Store Bought Pumpkin Pie - turn any typical store bought pumpkin pie into a creamy sensation by adding the pumpkin whipped topping to the top.
    • Gluten Free - use gluten free pie crust, store bought or homemade, instead of a traditional pie crust. Can be found in most freezer isles.

    Variations

    • Cream Cheese - don't want pumpkin puree in the creamed topping? Or don't have enough on hand. Simply add the whipping cream and cream cheese mixture together without the pumpkin puree.

    Equipment

    • 9 inch Pie Pan
    • 2 Mixing Bowl
    • Electric Hand Mixer
    • Rubber Scraper

    Storage

    Store Double Layer pumpkin pie with whipped topping in the refrigerator with saran wrap loosely over the top. Store for 3-4 days.

    This pie freezes very easily! Wrap with saran wrap or put in an air tight container and freeze for 1-2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator when ready to eat, or eat frozen!

    Top tip

    To ensure a creamy texture for the top layer, make sure to soften the cream cheese beforehand. This will help it mix smoothly.
