In chilled small bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Cut dessert into squares. Serve with whipped cream. Garnish each serving with candy pumpkin.

Canned pumpkin pie mix contains spices, sugar, water and salt, so it can't be substituted for canned plain pumpkin.
If you don't have candy pumpkins for the garnish, sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice over the whipped cream.
