ends up so good, you have to share the idea. We made this one last night, and the idea just sort of grew from what was in the fridge and pantry. It was our fall spin on Banana Pudding. I'm a dump and pour cook, so some of the ingredients are not exact measures, but it shouldn't matter.
-Ginger Snaps, broken into large pieces -1 large box vanilla pudding (make per box instructions. I add a little extra vanilla extract, about 1/2 tsp, and 1 small pat of butter to my pudding while cooking.) Cooled 1/2 C heavy whipping cream -2 whole pears -Splash of brandy -1-2 tsps light brown sugar -dash ground ginger 2 tsp butter
Make pudding according to box directions and cool. Core and slice pears. Melt butter in non stick pan and add the pears, br sugar, and ginger and cook until pears are just heated through, and barely begin to soften. Add brandy and heat through. Remove from heat. Whip the heavy cream, and fold into the pudding.
Layer into glasses like parfaits, or in a bowl as you would make banana pudding.

Soooo true... Your recipe looks great! a keeper for sure...
Along the same lines (well, there's bananas in it)... I made this one a few weeks back and it went over really well for company...
One Large Keebler Graham Cracker Crust (the 9 oz. crust) One large package of JELL-O Sugar free, fat free INSTANT Pudding (the 6 1/2 cup sreving package) 2 cups whole milk 1/2 cup banana/vanilla rum (I used MaDouDou <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />) two very ripe large bananas, sliced Fresh ground nutmeg
layer sliced bananas in graham cracker crust. mix 2 cups milk, rum & instant pudding. pour over bananas, top with ground nutmeg, let set in fridge. serve with whipped cream on top.
It's really good and only takes abouut 5 minutes to make... sets up completely in one hour in the fridge, but I liked it completely cold, about 4 hours.
One note, you really need whole milk so it will set right with the rum substitution from the original package directions of 2 1/2 cups milk... I tried it first with 1% milk and it turned out soupy...
