Unlike some pumpkin spice desserts, this easy pie is all about the actual pumpkin. Every bite is bursting with sweet, earthy pumpkin richness. Whipped topping is mixed with the pumpkin to create a soft, chiffon-like texture that needs to freeze for a while to firm up. For the best texture when eating, let the pie stand for a few minutes before serving. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand but do have a well stocked spice cabinet, you can substitute 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground ginger, ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg, and ⅛ tsp ground cloves.
