Tea on Tuesday: Pilgrim Pudding

With a pleasant pumpkin flavor, caramel and almonds, this rich and creamy pudding tastes decadent, but it's surprisingly light.

Ingredients:
* 3/4 cup cold fat-free milk
* 1/3 cup canned pumpkin
* 2 tablespoons sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
* 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon fat-free whipped topping, divided
* 1-1/2 teaspoons fat-free caramel ice cream topping
* 1 teaspoon sliced almonds, toasted

Directions:
* In a large bowl, combine milk and pumpkin. Add pudding mix; whisk for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in 1/2 cup whipped topping.

* Spoon into two dessert dishes. Garnish with remaining whipped topping; drizzle with caramel topping and sprinkle with almonds. Yield: 2 servings.
