Pumpkin Fluff Pie

As the countdown to Thanksgiving begins, here's a simple delicious no-cook pie recipe that combines all the best parts of a pumpkin pie with whipped cream, while toning down the overall pumpkin-ness of traditional pumpkin pie.  It's perfect for those "not crazy about pumpkin pie" people in your life, as well as those "I love anything pumpkin spice" people.  This is a pie version of a pumpkin fluff dip courtesy of Pinterest via Shawna.  So as an alternative to pie, hollow out a small pumpkin, fill with this fluffy pumpkin spice dip, and serve with graham crackers.  Very impressive presentation with little preparation = AWESOME last-minute recipe!  I instantly thought that this dip could use a good graham cracker crust, so in the pie crust it went.  Here's how Mama makes it:
