Main Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
- 3 ounce box instant vanilla pudding powder (powder only)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Optional Garnishes

- Whip the Cream: In a large bowl with an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute.
- Fold in Pumpkin Mixture: Gently fold in the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding powder, and pumpkin pie spice into the whipped cream mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Pipe or Scoop: Transfer the mixture into a large plastic storage bag and cut off a small corner to pipe into glasses, or simply spoon the mixture into a serving bowl if using as a dip.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pumpkin fluff for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and develop its flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream, chopped pecans, or crushed Graham crackers as desired for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free pudding mix.
- Make sure to chill the fluff well for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the powdered sugar to your preferred sweetness.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree if preferred, just ensure it’s well-pureed and smooth.
- Can be served as a dessert dip with cookies, crackers, or fruit.
