This Birthday Pie captures all the fun of a Funfetti cake in a cool, creamy dessert. Featuring a rich cream no bake cheesecake layer and a luscious whipped topping infused with vanilla pudding, this pie is the perfect festive addition to your next birthday celebration.
No Bake Birthday Cake Pie Recipe
I love no-bake treats and desserts, especially in the summertime. I have a summer birthday, and I often don’t want a baked cake. This birthday cake pie is the perfect alternative. It still has that sweet cake flavor but without having to turn on your oven. It also helps that I am a huge fan of pies. The creamy filling and the crispy graham cracker crust are enough for me to make the switch. I promise that whoever you make this for or if you make it just to enjoy at home, no one will be disappointed.

Why You’ll Love This Birthday Pie
- Easy to make. Prep time is just making the layers of this pie and only takes a few minutes. It’s easy to whip up the night before an event and store it in the refrigerator.

- Pretty presentation. After it is decorated, it is so beautiful and festive fun dessert!
What You’ll Need
Below you will find everything you need to make this birthday cream pie recipe. This tasty layered dessert uses ingredients that keep it light, creamy, and not overly sweet.
- Graham cracker crust: I use a store-bought Pillsbury graham cracker crust for this recipe. Any brand that your grocery store has will work wonderfully. You can also make it yourself if you prefer.
- Cream cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before preparing this birthday pie. It shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes.
- Powdered sugar: This is a great way to sweeten the cream cheese layer without the gritty texture of granulated sugar.
- Cake batter flavoring: I use Amoretti cake batter flavoring to make the birthday cake-flavored pie filling, but you can use any brand you find or pure vanilla if you prefer.
- Confetti sprinkles: Confetti sprinkles don’t bleed color the same way traditional sprinkles do, so I recommend sticking with this variety. I like rainbow colors, but you can choose any color.
- White chocolate pudding mix: I like to make pudding and fold it into the whipped topping for extra flavor and creaminess. Feel free to use cheesecake pudding or vanilla if you like.
- Cold milk: This is going to be mixed with the dry pudding. It must be cold enough so it soft sets.
- Whipped topping: Any kind of whipped topping is perfect. This will keep the pudding layer airy and fluffy.
- Gel food coloring: I used aqua food coloring to give the cream cheese layer a soft blue-green color.

Tips and Variations
