First, we read “Pumpkin Pumpkin” by Jeanne Titherington. As we are reading, we stop along the way to discuss the life cycle of a pumpkin.

Toward the end of the book, they talk about the ways pumpkins are used once they are fully grown. One way they are used is to make pumpkin pie, which is a great segue way into making our pumpkin pie in a cup.

Pumpkin Pie in a Cup Recipe

This pumpkin pie in a cup recipe is super easy to make and uses a few simple ingredients.

Before making this recipe, I like to send a letter to families letting them know we will be enjoying this treat in class. I share the ingredients and make sure it is safe for all to enjoy. I also send a donation sign up link.

Depending on dietary restrictions, you can always make a few minor swaps. You could consider grabbing a box of gluten free graham crackers or dairy free whipped cream.

Pumpkin Pie in a Cup Recipe

Ingredients

The following recipe yields one student cup of pumpkin pie.

• 1 Full Graham Cracker
• 3/4 Cup of Vanilla Pudding or 1 1/2 cup Pudding Cups
• 2 Tablespoons of Pumpkin Pie Filling
• 1 Dash of Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1 Dollop of Whipped Cream or Redi Whip

Directions

1. Place the graham cracker inside a zippered sandwich bag and crush.
2. Pour the graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of a cup.
3. In a separate bowl or cup, mix the vanilla pudding, pumpkin pie filling or puree, and pumpkin pie spice. I have my students each mix their own ingredients, but you could also mix these ingredients ahead of time so that you have enough for an entire class.
4. Scoop the pumpkin pie and pudding mixture on top of the crumbled graham crackers.
5. Add a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie In a Cup Math Activities

Pumpkin pie isn’t a taste that everyone enjoys, but I always encourage students to at least give their pumpkin pie in a cup a try.

After students eat (or choose not to eat) their pumpkin pie in a cup, we complete a few math activities!

First, I have students survey eight friends to get their opinion on whether they liked, did not like, or fell somewhere in between when it came to the taste of their pumpkin pie.

Then, we analyze and graph the data. The last step involves coloring our pages with crayons and colored pencils. These sheets will be added to our “All About Pumpkins” book!
