This is a great dessert to enjoy for fall or to go along with your Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. Get this dessert to the table in less than 20 minutes.
I was searching for an already prepared pumpkin pudding recipe and could not find one in the store, I decided to make my own and it tuned out great. The kids loved it. I have to admit I used instant pudding mix in this recipe along with other ingredients, but it still turned out tasty with that pumpkin flavor that we are looking for.
If you don’t feel like baking pumpkin pie, this is a quick replacement. Get that pumpkin pie flavor without the baking.

Shopping List
The following ingredients will be needed to make this recipe. You will need instant vanilla pudding mix, a can of pumpkin, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sprinkles.
How Long Does It Take To Make?
You will need to plan for 10 minutes of preparation time to make the pudding. Then you will need an additional 10 minutes to let it chill in the refrigerator.
Canned Pumpkin vs Pumpkin Pie Filling
I used 100% canned pumpkin for this recipe, not pumpkin pie filling. Canned pumpkin is pumpkin that has been cooked and pureed. While pumpkin pie filling is flavored with added spices and other ingredients.

Cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed down or store in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can You Freeze Pudding?
Yes, you can freeze pudding. Keep in mind that some puddings will not freeze as well as others. The texture might change after freezing. If you are going to freeze pudding you can freeze in an airtight container or in freezer bags. You can also freeze them in popsicle trays.
Label with the name and date and then freeze. Pudding can last in the freezer for up to 1-2 months.
