In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
Add the half and half and whisk until well combined, and the pudding starts to thicken – about two minutes.
Stir in the pumpkin and vanilla until combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping to incorporate.
Enjoy or chill in the refrigerator for later.

Notes
