About This Recipe
Pumpkin Fluff is a fluffy and soft dessert or a dip that screams of fall in every bite. It is made using 5 ingredients and comes together in just 5 minutes.
Serve this no-bake recipe on its own as a dessert or with graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices as a dip. It also makes for a great after-school snack for kids.
Ingredients
Pumpkin Puree – Use homemade pumpkin puree or buy a can. DO NOT use pumpkin pie spice. It has some additional ingredients which might not taste good in this recipe.
I always use my Homemade Pumpkin Puree for this recipe. It’s easy, free of preservatives and artificial flavors and colors, and much economical than the canned puree.
Pumpkin Pie Spice – I use my Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice as it’s super easy and economical. You can use the store-bought one too.
Vanilla Pudding Powder – It helps to set the dessert and also gives it a nice flavor.
Whipped Cream – Whip the cream at home or use ready-made whipped cream like cool-whip. If using frozen whipped topping, then make sure to thaw it.
Vanilla Extract – Add it for a lovely flavor.
How To Make Pumpkin Fluff
Whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 3.5 oz (100 g) instant vanilla pudding powder, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
Fold 8 oz (225 g) whipped cream in 2-3 batches into the pumpkin mixture.
Cover the bowl and chill for a few hours before serving.

Serving Suggestions
This fluff can be served as a dessert or a dip.
If serving as a dessert, you can serve it in small individual bowls. I like to pipe it in serving bowls for a nice look. You can sprinkle some ground cinnamon over it just before serving.
If serving as a dip, serve it in a large bowl and top with chopped toasted pecans and ground cinnamon.
Serve it with Graham Crackers, GingerSnaps, or even with Cookies like Chocolate Chip Cookies or Shortbread Cookies.
You can also serve it as a snack with Apple Slices, Berries, or any other fruit you would like to enjoy.
Storage Suggestions
Pumpkin Fluff can be refrigerated for 2-3 days in an airtight container. I do not recommend freezing it.
