Pumpkin Dessert

Years ago, my first stepmother made me this dessert.  (I say my first stepmother, because my father has graced me with 4 of them. I am very blessed, he has excellent taste in women!) 

This dessert was so good when she made it, I almost ate it all in one sitting.  I always think of it at this time of year so I wanted to share it with you.  It is so easy and so good and every time I take it somewhere, I am asked for the recipe.  I hope you like it!
