Log Cabin Pudding
Whip up this rich dessert for whatever Thanksgiving celebration you attend.
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup maple syrup
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy or whipping cream
1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
30 vanilla wafer cookies, crushed

1. In 2-quart saucepan, evenly sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water; let stand 1 minute to soften gelatin. Heat over low heat, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, until gelatin completely dissolves (do not boil). Remove from heat; stir in maple syrup.

2. Pour milk into medium bowl; with wire whisk, stir in gelatin mixture until blended.

3. Set bowl with gelatin mixture in large bowl of ice water. With rubber spatula, stir gelatin mixture until it gets very thick, about 15 minutes. Remove gelatin mixture from bowl of water.

4. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold gelatin mixture and pecans into whipped cream until evenly blended.

5. Sprinkle half of cookie crumbs over bottom of shallow 2 1/2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish. Top with pudding mixture and sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Makes 16 servings.
