This easy Double Layer Pumpkin Pie recipe is one of the best pumpkin desserts I have had that isn’t the classic pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie with a cream cheese layer is a little unexpected for a pie, but is the best surprise.
You might even want to make two of them if you are bringing it to a get together or a work function to make sure there is enough for everyone. While this pie is super easy to make, it is dangerously delicious! It will be gone before you know it.

How to Make Double Layer Pumpkin Pie
- To make the crust of this pie mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter, and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl until everything is mixed together well.
- Then press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a pie plate and bake it in a preheated oven for 6-7 minutes at 375 degrees.
- Take the plate from the oven and let the crust cool completely before filling it with the pumpkin filling.
- Speed up the cooling process by popping the crust in the fridge as well.
- To make the pie filling, combine together the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of evaporated milk, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk everything together until the ingredients are smooth.
- Then, gently stir in the Cool Whip to the cream cheese mixture.
- Once you have incorporated the Cool Whip, spread the creamy mixture into the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the remaining evaporated milk and dry pudding mixes (do not actually make the pudding).
- Then, using the whisk, beat the ingredients together for a minute until the ingredients become thick.
- Once the pudding mixture is thick, add in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, and stir it all together with the whisk.
- After the pumpkin layer ingredients are well combined, spread it over top of the cream cheese layer and refrigerate it for 4 hours or until it is completely set up.
- Then serve it and enjoy with whipped cream topping! We are sure this Double Layer Pumpkin Pie Recipe will become a family favorite.

Make Your Own Spices
While I know it is convenient to just buy a container of pumpkin pie spice, there is just something about making your own blend for the delicious Fall recipes. Take a look at how to make pumpkin pie spice from The Pioneer Woman. Maybe even make up some for your friends too and put it in a cute jar as a gift!
