Ingredients
2/3 cup milk (can use nonfat)
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup whipped cream (thawed, if using frozen and sweetened, if using fresh)
1 (9 inch) ready-made graham cracker pie crust, ice cream cones or four ramekins with crushed graham crackers in them.
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the milk and pumpkin until smooth.
Add the pudding mix, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the whipped topping.
Pour into pie shell, ice cream cones or ramekins
If making pie, refrigerate until serving.
If using ice cream cones, serve immediately (filling can be made in advance). Otherwise the cones will get soft.

If using ramekins, put coarse graham cracker crumbs in bottom prior to adding the filling. They will soften if done too far in advance, but it still tastes great.
