Weight Watchers Pumpkin Dessert keeps things simple. It tastes just like fall in a cup.
I go with 100% pumpkin for real flavor. Sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix forms the base, and fat-free whipped topping makes it light and creamy. A little cinnamon ties it all together.
It’s a no-bake, chill-and-serve treat that’s great for parties, weeknights, or whenever you’re craving pumpkin without much effort.
Spoon it into cups, or layer it parfait-style. Sometimes I fill mini shells for bite-sized treats.
