Try using half the Cool Whip, 4 oz of cream cheese and cheesecake pudding mix instead of vanilla… YUM!
Okay, so I never really “got” the whole pumpkin obsession that everyone goes nuts about this time of year. Nonetheless, I’m part of a MOPS group and decided to make it to bring to our meeting tomorrow. I sampled some of it (got to make sure it’s edible right!?) and it is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!! So good! And so simple to whip up. It makes A LOT! For once I’m actually hoping there are leftovers for me to have more! I’m sure it will taste even better tomorrow once the flavors really get together! 🙂 Thanks for a great recipe!
How long can this stay in the refrigerator before serving? Is a day or two okay or should I make it just before serving basically? Thank you!
You will be fine to make this dip the day before. Place in the fridge and make sure to cover it. Either in an airtight container or with plastic wrap. 🙂
This may sound silly but do you make the pudding then add the pumpkin? Or just the dry packet of pudding mix?
Just the dry packet of pudding mix.
The recipe and the video are doing two completely different things. So which is the correct way to make it? I plan to try it for Thanksgiving this year.
That is because they are 2 different recipes. The blog post has pudding mix and the one in the video has yogurt. So you can decide which one you like and make that one!
