Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix the Pumpkin Base
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding mix, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon. If you prefer your fluff a bit sweeter, you can also add 1/4 cup of brown sugar at this stage.
- Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The pudding mix will help thicken the pumpkin and give it a creamy texture.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture. Use a spatula to incorporate the whipped topping slowly, making sure not to deflate it. The goal is to keep the fluff light and airy.
- Continue folding until the whipped topping is fully blended with the pumpkin mixture, creating a smooth, fluffy consistency.
- Chill the Fluff
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Pumpkin Fluff for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the fluff to firm up slightly.
- If you’re in a hurry, you can serve it immediately, but chilling enhances the flavor and texture.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Once chilled, scoop the Pumpkin Fluff into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of whipped cream, or even some crushed graham crackers for added texture.
- Serve the Pumpkin Fluff with graham crackers, cookies, or sliced fruit for dipping. It also makes a fantastic filling for pies or parfaits.
Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Fluff
- Customizable Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less brown sugar. You can also substitute the vanilla pudding mix with butterscotch or cheesecake flavors for a different twist.
- Make It Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free whipped topping and pudding mix to create a dairy-free version of this dessert.
- Serving Ideas: Pumpkin Fluff is versatile—serve it as a dip, a pie filling, or even layered in a trifle with crushed cookies and whipped cream.
