Gingerbread Cream Pie

Nothing says holidays like the warm flavors of gingerbread! This gingerbread cream pie is the ultimate indulgence and it’s gorgeous too! A super fun holiday dessert.

If there is one dessert you should make this holiday season, I promise you it should be this gingerbread cream pie. It is SO easy to make (you only need to pre-bake the crust), has few ingredients, and is just way too delicious to not give it a whirl. It tastes like a soft, sweet gingerbread cookie, but it’s PIE! You won’t believe it unless you try it for yourself.

It’s super fast to make so you can get it done in a snap when you’re running out of time and didn’t plan enough dessert. And cream pies are SOOOO good!

You can make it ahead and store it in an airtight container for up to three days. But make sure to at least chill it overnight if you can.

All it takes is a store-bought crust that you bake and cool, some instant pudding, and a few things to add to it. It’s easier than you can imagine! If you don’t want to use instant pudding, you can make homemade too. Either way, use whole milk for the creamiest pies!

For some additional optional toppings, you could use crushed cookies, holiday sprinkles, or toasted nuts. Use your imagination! And you can get these cute little gingerbread cut outs on amazon if you want them. So sweet!
