One of the things that we served for Memorial Day was a beautiful and decadent tasting dessert made by my Younger Daughter. The real beauty of the dessert is that it was entirely fat free, but you’d never guess that when you tasted it.

I’m not sure what the recipe was called, so I’ll just call it

Chocolate Layered Deliciousness

Ingredients

  • Chocolate cake mix
  • Canned pumpkin
  • Fat free whipped topping, large tub
  • Fat free pudding mix, can be instant. Two packages

Method

Make the cake mix by adding only the canned pumpkin. No eggs, oil, or water. Bake as usual. Let cool.

Make the pudding mix as directed, using fat free milk. Let cool.

Using a large, clear bowl with fairly straight sides, layer chocolate pudding, crumbled cake, and whipped topping. Make three layers. End by putting pudding and sprinkling chocolate cake crumbles on top. Chill several hours or overnight.

This makes a beautiful presentation. You can’t tell there is pumpkin in the cake mix at all, but it’s extremely moist and delicious. The dessert will need to be spooned out onto plates.

I think this could also be prepared in individual stemware for a beautiful dessert to give to your family or guests.
