Notes
- Opt for homemade whipped cream to control sugar and add rich, fresh flavor compared to store-bought whipped topping.
- Select pure pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling to manage sweetness and spice levels more precisely.
- Experiment with alternative dietary versions by using coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free option or Greek yogurt for added protein and tanginess.
- Consider making this dessert ahead of time, as it keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
