Filled to the brim with the best fall flavors, this No-Bake Pumpkin Pudding Pie comes together in a snap. A cinnamon-scented graham cracker crust holds a layer of silky salted caramel sauce (from a jar!) and a pumpkin pudding filling that is velvety smooth and warmly spiced. After chilling, cover the pie with generous dollops of whipped topping and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
In a Nutribullet, or other similar blender, pulverize the graham crackers to fine crumbs. (This can also be done in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin). Place in a large mixing bowl and add the melted butter and combine with a fork until mixture resembles wet sand.
Press graham cracker mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
When pie has chilled, spread ⅓ cup salted caramel sauce (I like the Smuckers brand) into the bottom of the crust and return to the fridge while you prepare the filling.
For the Pumpkin Pudding Filling:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), whip 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
Add 1 package pumpkin pudding mix, 2 ½ cups heavy cream, and ½ tsp. pumpkin spice extract (if using) and mix until thoroughly combined. Filling will begin to thicken while mixing, this is normal.
Spread filling into prepared graham cracker crust and smooth into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours, or overnight.
When ready to serve, cover with a generous layer of whipped topping and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for garnish, if desired
