Are you ready for a super easy No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Dessert recipe? This easy to make, Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie is light, pumpkin-y and oh-so-good! It’s a perfect no-bake fall dessert. (Scroll down to the bottom for the printable recipe.)
Today’s post is dedicated to my love of all things pumpkin in the fall – but without all the work! (Cuz that’s how I roll, lol.)
I’ve partnered with Dairy MAX to bring you one of my favorite dairy-based Fall Dessert Recipes.
Why You NEED to Make this No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
This no-bake pumpkin cheesecake pie recipe is fluffy, light and oh-so-pumpkiny.
It’s the perfect pumpkin recipe to make when you need a Fall dessert, but don’t feel like turning on the oven. (90 degrees today – yes, fall in Texas, I’m talking about you!)
Can you see how light and fluffy this pie is?
What I like most about this no bake pumpkin pie recipe is, it’s not super sweet and the pumpkin flavor really shines!
I’m always surprised how much this no bake pumpkin pie tastes like regular pumpkin pie! You almost don’t even taste the cream cheese. (Especially when you add a huge dollop of vanilla flavored cream on top!)
Here’s what you need to know about this No Bake Pumpkin Pie Recipe:
It tastes AMAZING! Even though this recipe has a block of cream cheese in it, it has the flavor of a real pumpkin pie.
Use a store bought crust and it’s a completely no bake pumpkin pie.
This no-bake pumpkin pie is super easy to make, but be aware that you need to allow time for the cream cheese to soften and then several hours for the pie to completely set up. (If serving to guests, I recommend putting the pie together the night before as it will be nice and firm and just look prettier. Also, I think the longer it sets up the better it tastes.)
Since the pie is made with just a few “real” ingredients, I even consider this dessert recipe to be semi-healthy! (Or as healthy as any dessert can be, lol.)
Ingredients in the No Bake Pumpkin Pie:
Want to give this recipe a try? Be sure to add these ingredients to your shopping list.
(Full printable recipe card found at the bottom of the post.)
- Pumpkin puree | Not pumpkin pie filling.
- Cream cheese | Stick with full fat or low fat, NEVER no fat
- Heavy Whipping Cream | You want heavy whipping cream, not regular whipping cream for this pie recipe. The heavy cream has more fat and the extra fat helps the cream whip better and hold its shape longer than regular whipping cream.
- Sugar | stick with granulated sugar
- Pumpkin pie spice
Since this post is sponsored by Dairy Max I want to make sure to mention the benefits of dairy products, especially when it comes to kids.
- Dairy is an easy way to get the kids off to a great start in the morning. Milk, cream and yogurt are full of whey protein, (whey protein is a high-quality found naturally in dairy products.
- Kids who eat breakfast have a higher intake of calcium, have higher test scores and improved daily attendance.
Can this No Bake Pumpkin Pie Be Made Low Carb?
Yes, if you’re doing low carb, you can make a few substitutions to make this pie a low carb dessert.
- Switch the sugar out for any cup for cup low carb sweetener. I like Swerve Confectioners sweetener.
- Switch the the graham cracker crust out for a nut crust, or serve it crust-less in a parfait dish as a mousse.

Joanne says
I gave this a 4 star because it did not set up like photo. It was absolutely delicious! We ate the whole pie for Thanksgiving. Will make it again but would love some tips on a firmer result.

Jamie says
I agree, it’s delicious. I made it again on Tuesday. This time we put a dollop of the vanilla cool whip on top, that really made the pie.
So my best tips on a firm pie would be…
1. Does your pumpkin puree seem runny? If it does you might consider putting a coffee filter in fine mesh sieve to drain off any excess liquid. I’ve never done this but I have heard this tip before.
2. Make sure you are achieving stiff peaks with the whipped cream. ( I use a stand mixer to make my whipped cream, I don’t know if that makes a difference.)
3. When folding the whipped cream and cream cheese mixture together make sure to not over fold or it could deflate your whipped cream.
4. Make this the day before and let it set up over night.
Hope these help and good luck.

Made this pie a few days ago, the night before it was being served. The filling set up nicely and the pie tasted heavenly. It was a hit with everyone! My reason for just 4 stars is that my store-bought graham crust went a bit soggy overnight. Next time I will make it early the same day it’s served. Recipe was super easy to put together!
