Pumpkin Cream Pie..




This last weekend I was needing an idea for a treat to give to the ladies I visit teach. So, I started looking on my favorite site sugardoodle.net for an idea. As I clicked on one of the sites up popped this idea. It was so quick and easy and even cuter that she put it in a jar. So, I made up a few to give away and the rest for us... it was a hit! Even though I finally realized why mine didn't look lighter than the picture, its because I forgot to add the whipped cream to the mix, I only added it to the top, but it was still so yummy, I thought I would share. Its a great dessert with Thanksgiving coming up.

Crust:

1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers (about 1 1/2 packages of crackers, I crushed them in my food processor)

1/3 cup sugar

6 tablespoons melted butter

Mix together well, then press into small cups or jars with your hands and chill in the fridge. Do not cook crust.


Cream:

1 cup pumpkin (pureed)

2 cups cold milk

2 boxes of instant vanilla pudding (3.4 oz size)

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed (cool whip or make your own)

Extra whipped topping for the top of pies

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together on low speed for 1 minute. Spoon filling into cups or jars on top of graham cracker crust. Top with a layer of whipped topping and chill in fridge until set. About a half hour.

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that's irresistable. Just don't trust everyone who comes across your path.
