No bake, Pumpkin pie

This recipe came from last months woman's world. it's was easy to make and look's very impressive. i made the mistake the first time and use pumpkin  instead of  ready made pumpkin pie filling, 
it came out a little bland .so if you try this recipe be sure to use pumpkin pie filling. it then came out  very good and     
could also be easily   turned  into a low cal desert ,by using  low fat whipped cream and cream cheese , my guest were really in awe and the kids loved it. i still  prefer pumpkin pie, but this was lighter and less filling it 's    also really fun to serve to guest.
