Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 1 bag (10 oz) large marshmallows
- 1 cup pure pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 carton (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
Crust
- 1 (6 oz) store-bought graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Melt and Combine: In a saucepan over low or medium-low heat, combine the large marshmallows, pure pumpkin, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Cool Mixture: Transfer the warm pumpkin marshmallow mixture to a mixing bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature, approximately 30 minutes or longer if needed to avoid melting the Cool Whip in the next step.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Once cooled, add the thawed Cool Whip to the pumpkin mixture and stir gently but thoroughly until the filling is completely combined and noticeably lighter in color.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the filling into the store-bought graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly for a smooth top.
- Chill to Set: Cover the pie with the crust’s enclosed lid and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the filling to thicken and set properly.
- Serve: When ready to serve, optionally top the pie or individual slices with additional whipped cream, either spray can, Cool Whip, or homemade. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Be sure to let the pumpkin and marshmallow mixture cool completely before adding the Cool Whip to prevent it from melting and thinning out the filling.
- This pie requires refrigeration time to thicken, so plan ahead for at least 8 hours of chilling.
- Store leftover pie in the refrigerator with a lid for up to 3 days for the best freshness.
- You can garnish with additional cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top for an extra festive touch.
