Easy steps to make Pumpkin Fluff
Ingredients:
- 1-15oz. Can of Pure Pumpkin or Puree (not pumpkin pie filling) and I keep it in the refrigerator until ready to make.
- 1-3.4 oz. Box of Instant Vanilla or Cream Cheese Pudding
- 1.5 tsp. of Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 12 oz. of Cool Whip (thawed but out of the refrigerator. Not room temperature)
- Dash of Cinnamon for topping (optional)
Folding in the Cool Whip
Instructions:
- In a large bowl add the first 3 ingredients – Pure Pumpkin, Instant Pudding and Pumpkin Pie Spice. Do not add the Cool Whip yet.
- Using an electric mixer, combine first 3 ingredients thoroughly.
- Fold in Cool Whip with a spatula or spoon. Do not use the electric mixer.
- Refrigerate until ready to eat.

It’s that easy! And so light and fluffy that you’ll have to control yourself from eating it by the spoonful. Here’s a list of dippers that we’ve found to be perfect for this.
Dippers: I’m sure there are others dipper ideas but these are the ones we’ve tried and found quite tasty.
- Graham Crackers
- Lotus Biscoff Cookies
- Sliced Apples
- Dot’s Homestyle Cinnamon/Sugar Pretzel Sticks
