Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 3 ounces jello cook n serve vanilla pudding mix (1 package!)
• 1 3/4 cups 1% low-fat milk
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Recipe

• 1 in a medium saucepan, mix the pudding mix and milk together first with a wooden spoon or whisk. don't turn the heat on yet!
• 2 whisk in the egg whites to the mixture, make sure there's no lumps.
• 3 carefully fold in the pumpkin and spices at the same time, making sure there's no lumpiness once again.
• 4 now turn on the heat to medium-high and whisk while it's heating, uncovered.
• 5 let stand for about a minute until it starts to boil. keep mixing, and let the heat continue until the mixture thickens.
• 6 when it thickens to a good pudding-like consistency, turn the heat off, and keep beating it with the wooden spoon or whisk to beat the lumps out and disperse the flavor properly.
• 7 pour into individual serving cups/ramekins/giant serving bowl whatever your choice is.
• 8 make sure you wrap the entire open area with clingwrap! this is important to make sure an icky skin or gelatin-like consistency doesn't happen. (props to molly from cooking q&a for this tip, it really worked! :) ).
• 9 let set for at least 2 hours in the fridge prior to eating.
• 10 top with some spiced whipped cream and enjoy!
