Turtle Pumpkin Pie
Make This Pumpkin Pie While Your Turkey Is Cooking!
If you’re looking for a twist on the traditional Pumpkin Pie for the holidays, or you just love eating pumpkin all year round like me, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you. Turtle Pumpkin Pie from Kraft is a dessert that is so easy and quick to put together, you don’t even have to bake it! The pumpkin filling is mixed with instant vanilla pudding and cool whip so it’s light and fluffy, like mousse. On top, there’s more cool whip plus chopped nuts and caramel topping. Sounds amazing, right? It’s really simple to put together, just make sure you factor the 1 hour of refrigeration time into your prep work. I made mine the night before a dinner party to get a head start. Click here to watch me make this simple pie. Enjoy!
