We're taking a break from seafood this Thanksgiving to bring you a delicious pumpkin treat. The Fishmonger's wife is in the kitchen today whipping up a holiday twist on her favorite healthy dessert. This is vegan-friendly, too!

The secret to this delicious dessert is the Captain Morgan Jack-O'Blast, although feel free to substitute the alcohol if you can't find this specific brand. You can also omit the alcohol all together. 

In addition, I highly recommend using a smaller Ninja blender. The size makes it perfect for whipping pudding ingredients and the whipped cream. 

I prefer my whipped cream unsweetened, since I'm adding the cream to a sweet treat, but feel free to add a bit of sweetener if you desire. I've made that an option in the ingredients.

To make this dessert vegan, omit the whipped cream or substitute for a pre-made vegan alternative.
