I love pumpkin pie pudding, which is exactly what it sounds like— pudding that tastes like pumpkin pie. No surprises here. Except how easy this is to make.
This easy pumpkin pie pudding is also perfect for a party or gathering. You’re going to love this recipe!

Easiest Pumpkin Pie Pudding, serves 5-6.
1 box vanilla pudding mix (and any additional ingredients needed, like milk)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2-3 cups whipped cream (fresh or cool whip)
2 cups ground up ginger snap cookies
First, make the pudding according to the box directions. After cooking, whisk in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Refrigerate until cold.
While you wait for the pudding to cool, you can make the whipped cream (or use store bought, either way) and grind up the ginger snap cookies. The fastest way to grind up the cookies is in a food processor, but a good blender would probably work pretty well too.
Once the pudding is cold, layer everything into cups. Put the ground ginger snap cookies first, then pudding, then more cookies, more pudding, then the whipped cream on top. You can garnish with a cinnamon stick if you’re really fancy.
You can make the pudding a day or two ahead of time and assemble before serving if you’re making these for friends. Or, eat them all yourself over the course of two or three days. I won’t judge! xo. Emma

I can make this sugarless and with almond milk for my lactose intolerant husband. Who was born on Thanksgiving and called “pumpkin” for a couple years. Oddly enough, Cool whip does not bother him.
This was a hit!
This sounds brilliant. I love love love pudding.
I love pudding, and have never made homemade pudding. But, this makes me want to rush to the kitchen, because pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors!
This looks so delicious! I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I still think I’d enjoy this!

Hi Leslie! Check the front of the box for the amount of servings. You can buy two small boxes if needed, or just make a smaller amount with one box 🙂 -Jacki
How should I adjust the recipe if I cannot find a large-sized box of Jello pudding?
What a perfect family treat! This goes on the weekend list!
