Pumpkin Angel Food Dessert with Sugared Pecans
This is such a simple recipe to make but has a unique great taste. I don't know the exact calorie count but think it would be lower in calories than most desserts
Ingredients:
Bottom layer
* 1 (16 oz) angel food cake mix (be sure to use the 1 step mix)
* 1 (30 oz.) can Libby's Easy Pumpkin Pie mix (you can probably use other brands but I am not familiar with them.)
* 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
* Fresh ground nutmeg or use the dried (1/2 tsp or to taste)
Top layer
* 1 (12 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
* 1 cup canned pumpkin (plain pumpkin)
* 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
* 1 (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding (can use sugar free for lower calories)
* 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
To make bottom layer, mix dry angel food cake mix, pumpkin pie mix, and pumpkin pie seasoning together. You can do this by hand or for a minute with electric mixer. Spread in a 9X13 inch baking dish and sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in a 350 degree F oven and cool completely.
To make topping, gently fold the whipped topping,plain pumpkin, and dry pudding mix together.
Place pecans that have been sprinkled with a bit of sugar in pan and bake in prepared oven just till starting to turn brown. Do not over brown. Sprinkle over the whipped topping mixture.
