    If I was making everything from scratch (the way I prefer to avoid unwanted ingredients) How much in graham crackers by weight or volume?
    How much pumpkin puree by volume?
    What can be used in place of the pudding?
    I already plan to use homemade whipping cream from heavy cream to avoid all the nasty stuff in whipped topping…..
    Thank you for the base recipe!!

    1. Joy Kincaid says:

      Hi Carol! 9 cinnamon-flavored graham crackers (1 sleeve) = approx. 1½ cups finely crushed crumbs. 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree = approx. 1¾ cups. 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk = approx. 1¼ cups. 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping = approx. 3 cups. I’m not sure what you could use instead of the pudding, as I haven’t tested the recipe with any ingredients other than the ones listed.
