Pumpkin Mousse/Pudding

October4

This isn’t my recipe.  Rachel at Southern Fairytale posted it last week. Steve loves pumpkin treats so I decided to try it.  Steve loved it.  I liked it too.  I will likely make it again but I think I will decrease the Cool Whip a bit just to allow the texture to be a little more pudding like – it was a little mousse-like.  But the flavor was spot on.  And don’t skip the gingersnap crumbs – yum!

Pumpkin Pudding

  • 1 small box instant vanilla pudding (I used sugar free)
  • 1 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like cool whip)
  • 3 or 4 gingersnaps, crushed

Whisk together the pudding mix and milk.  Whisk in the pumpkin and spice until soft set.

Gently whisk or fold in the whipped topping.  Put into serving dishes and top with crushed gingersnaps.

Thanks Rachel!

    This looks like something that I’d eat the whole bowl of. Not just my serving – the whole batch. YUM.

    Yum, yum! This sounds great (easy and tasty). I may even make it part of my contribution for Thanksgiving at the giant Miller gathering!
