Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (quality canned or homemade pure pumpkin)
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1½ cups milk (preferably cold)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup whipped topping (folded in gently)
  • Optional: sugar or sweetener to taste (if using unsweetened pumpkin puree)

Instructions

  1. Mix Pumpkin and Pudding: Combine the pumpkin puree with the dry instant vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl. Mix well until fully combined and the pudding starts to thicken.
  2. Add Milk and Spices: Stir in the cold milk along with the pumpkin pie spice and any optional sweetener. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices and liquid are fully integrated, creating a smooth and creamy base.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping, taking care not to deflate its airy texture. This step gives the fluff its signature light and fluffy consistency.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the Pumpkin Fluff for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the texture to set, resulting in a perfectly soft and delightful dessert.

Notes

  • Use cold milk and whipped topping for the best texture and easier folding.
  • Fold gently instead of stirring vigorously to maintain the fluffiness.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually to suit your taste, especially if using unsweetened pumpkin puree.
  • Choose pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars.
  • Chilling the dessert enhances both flavor and texture.
