The original recipe called for two small boxes of pudding mix, 10 ounces of evaporated milk and 1 1/2 cups of whipped cream (freshly beaten). Out of laziness, I used cool whip instead.
I would hardly call this a ‘mousse’ (even if you were using real whipped cream) because it’s both heavy and dense in texture. It’s also not very pumpkin-flavored, in my humble opinion.
