Easiest Way to Make Pumpkin Pie in a Cup
I have a couple tips and tricks to make this look pretty in addition to tasting delicious! You only need a handful of ingredients:
Ingredients for Pumpkin Pie in a Cup
- Graham Cracker Crumbs
- Pumpkin Pie Filling
- Vanilla Pudding – You could also try using butterscotch pudding, too, though I think my kiddos would prefer vanilla.
- Canned Whipped Cream – I use the Reddi-Whip brand. However, you could also use whipped topping like Cool Whip, too!
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – You can sprinkle it on top of the whipped cream for garnish, but it’s totally optional.
Instructions for Pumpkin Pie in a Cup
First, layer the graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of a small clear cup. Next, add a layer of vanilla pudding. After that, place a layer of pumpkin pie filling on top of the pudding.
Lastly, add a dab of whipped topping or canned whipped cream. Optional: Sprinkle some pumpkin pie spice on top for garnish.

What is the difference between canned pumpkin and canned pumpkin pie?
The difference between pumpkin pie filling and canned pumpkin is this: The canned pumpkin has no spices in it. It is literally just canned pumpkin. Canned pumpkin pie filling (sometimes called pumpkin pie mix on the can) already has the spices mixed into the pumpkin.
