Yes, it can still work. Since your pudding mix is a little smaller than the 4 ounce box the recipe calls for, just reduce the half and half slightly. Using about 1 cup to 1 1/8 cups will help the pudding thicken the same way. Just make sure the pudding is thick before you layer it in the pan. If it’s too thin it won’t hold up in the dessert. Everything else stays the same, and it should set up beautifully.

No, I don’t recommend freezing this recipe.

I’d need to know more to determine why it didn’t set up properly. It’s a soft, layered dessert so it’s not a stiff layer, but I wouldn’t call it mush. It definitely needs to be refrigerated for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

I followed the recipe exactly but, the pumpkin layer didn’t set up like I thought it would. Is it supposed to be mush or, did I do something wrong? I was thinking of freezing it and, making it a frozen treat.
Whataya think? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ™ƒยก

It will be fine making it a day ahead.
