Layered Pumpkin Dessert

I found this recipe AFTER Thanksgiving and it looks really good. It should be called Chris' Layered Pumpkin Dessert because he LOVES Twinkies and Whipped Cream. He will eat both in one sitting! I'm going to try it sometime soon. Maybe for Christmas because we still have plenty of leftovers to eat!

LAYERED PUMPKIN DESSERT

1 package (10 count) Twinkies
1 – 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 – 8 oz. container Cool Whip, thawed & divided
2 – 3.4 oz. pkgs. instant vanilla pudding
1 – 15 oz. can pumpkin
1 cup milk
1½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Slice Twinkies in half, lengthwise, and place, cream-side-up, single layer, in bottom of 9x13 baking dish. Blend together cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and half of the Cool Whip until smooth. Spread over Twinkies.

Combine pudding, pumpkin, spice, and milk. Whisk until well blended and spread over cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate a couple hours and serve with remaining Cool Whip and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

This sounds interesting - did you try it and if so, how did it turn out?
