Pumpkin Charlotte image

This is a wonderful recipe from an old issue of Better Homes and Gardens. Because my family always watches how they eat, I substitute sugar free pudding for the regualr pudding, and a large container of low-fat Cool whip instead of whipping cream. Its delicious, and I have substitued other flavors for a change of pace.
