Description

This Gingerbread Cream Pie is a festive and creamy dessert perfect for holiday gatherings. Featuring a rich instant vanilla pudding base infused with classic gingerbread spices and molasses, it is topped with sweetened whipped cream over a crisp pre-baked pie crust. Ready in just 15 minutes with no baking required for the filling, this delightful pie combines warm spices and velvety texture for a comforting seasonal treat.

Ingredients

Pudding Mixture

  • 5.1 oz instant vanilla pudding mix (1 box)
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Crust

  • 1 9-inch pie shell, blind baked

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding base: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until combined. Allow the mixture to sit for 3 minutes, giving it time to thicken. Stir in the molasses along with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until fully incorporated to create a flavorful gingerbread pudding base.
  2. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture to lighten it and then pour this combined filling into the pre-baked pie shell.
  3. Assemble and chill: Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top of the pudding filling evenly. Optionally, dust the top with a light sprinkle of nutmeg for added aroma and decoration. Refrigerate the pie until fully chilled and set before serving to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • The pie shell should be blind baked beforehand for a crisp crust.
  • Chilling the pie for at least 2 hours improves texture and flavor meld.
  • Use cold milk and chilled heavy cream for best whipping results.
  • Adjust the amount of spices to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder gingerbread flavor.
  • This pie is best served the same day or within 2 days of preparation for optimal freshness.
