How to Make Pumpkin Pie in a Jar?
- Start by whisking together vanilla pudding mix and milk, then fold in pumpkin filling and spices.
- For the best texture, chill your mixing bowl and beaters. Whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, adding sugar, vanilla, and softened cream cheese.
- Crush gingersnap cookies into fine crumbs and layer them in mason jars, followed by the pumpkin mixture.
- Repeat layers until jars are full, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. These jars can be assembled a day in advance for stress-free entertaining.
- Just before serving, top with homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Yes! If you want to save time, swap homemade whipped cream for a tub of whipped topping.
Freezing isn’t recommended, as the texture of the pudding and whipped cream may change after thawing.
4–8 oz mason jars work perfectly for individual servings.
