    I made this for Thanksgiving and all my friends loved it. They couldn't believe how something so light and delicious could be so easy. I also made it for a Christmas party and it was an even bigger hit.

    I made 2 small changes. I used vanilla pudding and pumpkin pie spice for the mousse, and instead of the spiced pecans, I used toasted pecans drizzled with caramel sauce.

    Wonderful. This is an AWESOME recipe. I loved it. Made it. Had some. Put it in the fridge and it did not survive to see the morning. I also made this for some friends and they raved about it. So GOOD!

    This was very easy and extremely tasty! I couldn't find pumpkin pudding so I used vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. The Spiced Pecans were also a big hit! Next time I'm going to try the mousse with Cool Whip instead of whipping my own cream to decrease the calories.

    Sorry, but this was terrible. Bland and had a weird aftertaste.

    Note: "Wally World" carries the pumpkin spice pudding mix beginning in mid-November and it is usually on a special holiday baking display.

    So simple and tasty! This is a perfect recipe for pumpkin that will really have people fooled, if you can turn on a mixer, you can make this dish. Flavor is excellent, I tasted it this morning and I almost couldn't stop eating it! Texture is spot on, perfect dense-ness (? of ingredients mixed with the light whipped cream. I also could not find the pumpkin pudding, so I did what others suggested and used vanilla pudding, eliminated the added vanilla from the recipe and mixed in some pumpkin pie spices. Perfect! This delightful mixture is destined for my cream puffs today to be topped with chocolate ganache, yum!

    I am excited to try this with the Sugar-Free Vanilla pudding ( pumpkin pie spice for the Diabetics in our family that will be at Thanksgiving. I'm glad I looked at the recipe in advance- one more time too.
    *Note- If you are buying SF pudding the same size reg. pudding box (3.4 oz. is called for has only 1.5 oz. in it! So you will have to buy more (yes, I had to go back to the store.

    I will report back with more info later after T-day.

    An incredibly delicious mousse. At the time all the stores sold out of the pumpkin spice pudding and by chance just like everyone else I used vanilla instant pudding with a good amount of pumpkin spice. WOW!!! what a great desert!!!!!!! Thanks for the recipe......

    Served this at Thanksgiving and it was such a total hit, that this dessert disappeared before the molten lava cakes I also served. Easy to prepare and delicious. Definately a keeper - Thanks!

    SPICED pecans were amazing and I loved the kick they had in the end! I made this for the diabetics in the family and substituted with splenda biggest hit! I think everyone pushed past the pies and headed towards the mousse. Just like everyone else, I use vanilla pudding (sugar free and add the pumpkin spice to it.
    Thank you Alton!!
    psst! Try his turkey too!! YUM!
