This looks so yummy and a great alternative to regular pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. This will be appearing on my table very soon and if it is as good as I think it will be, it will become a regular staple on the fall menu. Thanks!
I made this tonight. It is very good, next time I may try only one package of vanilla pudding so it is not so thick- very nice and easy thank you for the recipe.
