Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box butterscotch instant pudding mix*
  • 2 cups cow's milk**
  • 1 cup 100% pure pureed pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 6-8 ounces whipped topping like CoolWhip
  • Optional: gingersnap cookies additional whipped topping, mint

Method
 

  1. In a medium size bowl, add the instant pudding mix and milk
  2. With a whisk, stir together the milk and pudding for 2 minutes
  3. Set pudding aside for 5 minutes to stiffen
  4. Once the pudding has set, whisk in the pumpkin puree and the pumpkin spice
  5. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping so the mixture remains fluffy. There may be light swirls of the whipped topping that's not full incorporated which is okay.
  6. Serve immediately or cover and place in the refrigerator until serving.
  7. Will keep 5-7 days, refrigerated

Notes

* I use Jell-O brand, instant sugar-free sugar pudding mix but the regular should work fine as well ** For the pudding to stiffen up, it's best to use cow's milk. I've never tried almond milk but I do know soy milk is not recommended for pudding
