    We loved this recipe. Imade this for my boyfriend on Valentines day. He loves pumpkin! However, I think that the pumkin filling could have been a little more sweet. I will definitely be making this again but will add a little sugar to the pumkin/pudding mixture. Thank you for a great recipe. Will definitely make this one again.

    This sounds yummy. Just want to be sure that the instant pudding flavor is vanilla before I make it.

    This was a huge hit at my daughter's Communion party! Looked and tasted delicious and was pretty easy to put together, too. I let it chill about 12 hours before serving and the flavors really came together. Lots of recipe requests, too! A couple of my kids said it tasted like pumpkin pie, which is their favorite. Thanks for posting this unique recipe

    This is a wonderful pumpkin dessert, the only change I made was I use butter in place of margarine, this is a very filling dessert so a little piece goes a long way, thanks MG!...Kitten
