How To Make A Pumpkin Pie In A Cup
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to place all the filling ingredients in a large bowl.
Next, whisk everything together until it reaches a smooth texture. For the smoothest texture, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
Now it is time to make the crust. Place the graham crackers in a large storage bag and use a rolling pin to break them into graham cracker crumbs. In a separate bowl, melt the butter.
Then mix them together with a fork to fully combine. Press this graham cracker crust down in the bottom of small glasses or mason jars.
Next, scoop the pumpkin mixture on top of the crust and top with whipped cream, Cool Whip, or dairy-free whipped cream. The perfect little mini pumpkin pie!

Description
This pumpkin pie in a cup recipe is simple, delicious, and easy to prep ahead for the perfect Thanksgiving dessert!
Ingredients
Crust:
- 14 graham crackers, crushed (approx. 2 cups)
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
Filling:
- 15oz can pumpkin puree
- 8oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping:
- whipped cream of your choice (reg or dairy-free) OR Cool Whip
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine pumpkin puree, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg. Whisk to combine until smooth – feel free to use a hand mixer, if you need to. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to let it cool and thicken back up.
- Meanwhile, in a different medium-sized bowl combine graham crackers and butter. Set aside.
- Once pumpkin mixture has thickened a bit, divide the graham cracker mixture between small glasses and press down with spoon. Add pumpkin mixture on top of that and then top it all off with some whipped cream.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Dairy-Free: to make this dairy-free use a dairy-free sweetened condensed coconut milk, dairy-free butter, dairy-free cream cheese (I would recommend Kite Hill plain variety – I have the best luck with that one) and a dairy-free whipped cream.
- Gluten-Free: to make this gluten-free use gluten-free graham crackers.
- Make Ahead: the pumpkin mixture can easily be made a day or two ahead of time and store in the refrigerated, covered. You could fill glasses with graham cracker crust + pumpkin filling and let sit overnight and then top with whipped cream before serving.
