  1. This was alot of fun to make. Even though my group loved it just the way it was, I was looking for more of a pumpkin flavored dessert. I will try using the butterscotch substitution to see if that will give me the flavor I am craving this fall. But this recipe is yummy if you love vanilla (which I do)!
     
  2. AKA Pumpkin Lush...been making this for quite some time, got the recipe from my mother. There are also variations out there for lemon or chocolate. Cool Whip is easily substituted for the whipping cream.
