Joanne's Creamy Pumpkin Pie

You know what? I've never yet made any of Joanne's pies; it's entirely possible I never will. But I still think of her often, and particularly on this day, which would have been her 71st birthday.

Creamy Pumpkin Pie

½ C cold milk

1 pkg (6-serving size) vanilla instant pudding & pie filling

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 C Pumpkin

2 ½ C Cool Whip

Graham Cracker Crust Pie Shell

Beat milk, pudding mix spice with whisk for 1 minute (very thick).  Whisk in pumpkin.  Stir in whipped topping.  Spread in crust.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until set.
