Layered Pumpkin Spice Jell-O Pie Ingredients

Graham cracker crust - ready-to-use crust
JELL-O Pumpkin Spice instant pudding mix
Milk - whole milk
Pumpkin pie spice
Cool Whip - thawed
Pecans - chopped pecan for garnish, optional

Using a store-bought graham cracker crust is the easiest, and quickest, way to make your pie, but you could also make your own crust. If you decide to make your own crust you could even switch out the graham crackers and use gingersnaps, nilla wafers, Oreos, or even a chocolate cookie pie crust.

Chopped pecans are an optional ingredient that you can use as a garnish. Rather than simply chopping the pecans and sprinkling them on top, you could even caramelize your pecans in a skillet on the stovetop with brown sugar and water. It only takes a few minutes to cook the pecans and then you can let them cool before adding them to your pie topping.

If you can’t find the pumpkin spice instant pudding mix at the store you can substitute a vanilla flavor and then add some extra pumpkin spice to your pudding. For a creamier pie instead of using whole milk use half and half cream.

If you want to make your own graham cracker crust, start by making graham cracker crumbs using a food processor or by crushing graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag and using a rolling pin. Combine with sugar and melted butter, press them into a pie plate, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Instead of graham cracker crumbs, you could also make your crust from digestive biscuits, gingersnaps, or OREOS.

What Topping Can I Put On My Pie?
