We love this, the butterscotch and pumpkin pair so well. I didn't have sugar free pudding on hand so I used instant butterscotch (regular). I'm looking forward to trying the sugar free/lower cal version. This is a keeper. Thank you for sharing this!

Made this this week and it was delicious. It is a keeper. The things I did differently was to use vanilla instant pudding , add some vanilla and garnish with ginger snap crumbs.... Reallly good.

I and my guests loved it. The first time I forgot to put the whipped topping in and it was just as good. Tonight I'll make it with the whipped toping.

I've had this recipe in my recipe book for years and always make it once Fall comes ... and each year I get so many positive comments. The best thing about this dessert is that it is quick and easy, and light!

I made this for a small gathering. It was a big hit with everyone and they asked for the recipe. I substitute coconut milk for milk and the flavor is perfect. Yum!

We loved this mousse. It's very simple to make and tastes like a creamy pumpkin pie without the crust. Next time I will put it in a graham cracker crust and top with Cool Whip to make it more elegant. As is, the mousse is only 96 Calories which we really liked.

It was tasty but surely didn't come out like a Mousse.
