Pumpkin Pie in a Bag

Yes, I know it is almost Spring and about the farthest away from 'pumpkin season' as you can get...

BUT- I found a really cute recipe that is fun to make and kid friendly.

Shopping List:

1 gallon size Zip-Loc bag

2 packages instant vanilla pudding (4 serving size)

2 2/3 cups cold milk

15 oz. can solid pack pumpkin

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

Graham Crackers

Whipped Cream Topping

Directions:

-Start by pouring the pudding into the bag. Then add the milk. Remove all the air and seal shut. Squeeze and knead for 1 minute or until thoroughly mixed (this is the part the kids love to help with)!

-Next, open the bag again and add the pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger. Remove the air and seal. Squeeze and knead for 2 minutes or until thoroughly mixed.

-Crush the graham crackers into small crumbs and place 1 Tbsp. in the bottom of a small clear cup or glass container.

-Using scissors, cut one corner off the bottom of the pumpkin mixture bag. Pipe an even amount of pumpkin mixture into each glass. Top with whipped cream!

This recipe is supposed to make 24 small servings for children to taste, but I've found that it is good for about 8 to 10 real servings. Leftover mix can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Happy Eating!
