Cut the pumpkin/pudding portion by 1/3...way too much. Also, I'd whip up my own whipped cream instead of using cool whip. That way I could cut the sweetness down to a minimum...the pumpkin/pudding mixture is way sweet enough.
Other than that, it was very, very tasty. Looked beautiful in my trifle bowl too.
MMmm...Amen to that!
Yes, some day I'll produce a cookbook with all my "adapted" recipes. It should be a big hit
