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

  1. Melt marshmallows and spices: In a saucepan over low to medium-low heat, combine the large marshmallows, pumpkin, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir very frequently until the marshmallows are melted and the mixture becomes smooth and uniformly combined.
  2. Cool mixture: Transfer the hot pumpkin and marshmallow mixture to a mixing bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. This will take about 30 minutes or longer if necessary to ensure it’s no longer hot.
  3. Incorporate Cool Whip: Once the mixture is cooled, add the thawed Cool Whip and gently stir until the filling is completely combined and noticeably lighter in color, creating a fluffy texture.
  4. Fill the crust: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it out evenly for a smooth top layer.
  5. Refrigerate to set: Cover the pie with the lid included with the crust and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the pie to thicken and set.
  6. Serve: Serve chilled, topped with additional whipped cream if desired, either spreading it over the entire pie or dolloping on individual slices for an attractive presentation.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the marshmallows frequently during melting to prevent burning or sticking.
  • Allowing the filling to cool completely before adding Cool Whip prevents it from melting and losing fluffiness.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best flavor and texture.
  • Refrigeration time is crucial to achieve the right consistency; overnight chilling is recommended.
  • For an added crunch, you can sprinkle chopped nuts or extra crushed graham crackers on top before serving.
