Pumpkin Mousse, Weight Watchers Style

Dieting is difficult during the holiday season, but here's a recipe you can eat without guilt, and at the same time not make you feel like you're missing anything. It's a Weight Watcher's pumpkin mousse, but everyone will love it. You can even make it into a pumpkin mousse pie by pouring it into a graham cracker crust pie shell. It has just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess to make it sooo delicious. Note the fact that with the new Weight Watchers program the points have changed, but the bottom line is that it's still 100 calories, and that's not much for a delicious dessert. You may even like it so much that you'll make it all year round. Oh, and did I mention that pumpkin is one of the superfoods? (our Weight Watchers friend Betty, just loved this recipe. She lost much of her weight eating pumpkin soup and pumpkin mousse.) Weight Watchers Pumpkin Mousse Ingredients: ■2 small packages of instant sugar-free vanilla pudding ■2 cups of non fat milk ■1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice ■15 ounce can of pumpkin(pure pumpkin, no added spices) ■8 ounces of fat-free Cool Whip Directions: 1.Make pudding first with the 2 cups of skim milk. 2.Fold in the rest of the ingredients - spice, pureed pumpkin and Cool Whip. 3.Serve!
