PUMPKIN FLUFF

Pumpkin Fluff Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 1 hour (optional)
Total Time: ~10 minutes (plus chilling time)
Servings: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) can  pumpkin puree (not  pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
• 1 (8 oz) tub of whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
• Graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels for serving
  

  Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients:
     • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, instant pudding mix, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and well combined.
  2. Fold in Whipped Topping:
     • Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. Avoid overmixing to keep the fluff airy.
     • Chill (Optional):
       • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
     • Serve:
       • Scoop the pumpkin fluff into a serving bowl or individual cups.
       • Serve with graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels for dipping.

Tips for Success:

• Make It Extra Creamy: Use heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks, in place of the store-bought whipped topping.
• Add Texture: Stir in chopped pecans, mini marshmallows, or a sprinkle of toffee bits for added crunch.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This Pumpkin Fluff is a quick, creamy, and delicious dessert dip that’s perfect for fall gatherings or any pumpkin lover! 🎃🍂
