Creamy Pumpkin Fluff Delight

There’s nothing quite like enjoying a fall treat that captures the cozy, spiced flavors of the season without requiring hours in the kitchen. This Creamy Pumpkin Fluff Dip is an easy no bake dessert that blends velvety pumpkin puree with the lightness of whipped topping and the sweetness of vanilla pudding, all lifted by warm pumpkin pie spice. It’s perfect for casual gatherings or holiday parties, pairing beautifully with graham crackers, apple slices, and other favorite dippers.

This dip has become a go to in my family each autumn. I first made it while hosting friends on a crisp fall evening and now it’s the dish everyone asks me to bring to every gathering.

Ingredients

• Pumpkin puree: Brings rich pumpkin flavor and creamy texture. Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling to avoid excess sweetness and preserve authentic flavor
• Instant vanilla pudding mix: Acts as a sweet thickener creating luscious creaminess. Choose the 3.4 ounce box for the right balance
• Whipped topping: Gives the dip its airy, fluffy texture. Make sure it is fully thawed before mixing to prevent heaviness or clumps
• Pumpkin pie spice: Infuses the dip with classic autumn warmth. If you don’t have this blend a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves will work beautifully
• Mini marshmallows: Optional but add a fun sweet chewiness and light texture contrast

Instructions

Combine Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl gently blend the thawed whipped topping with pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Stir carefully until the mixture is smooth and the aromas of spice start to fill your kitchen.

Add Vanilla Pudding:

Sprinkle in the instant vanilla pudding powder evenly over the mixture. Stir softly but thoroughly making sure the pudding dissolves completely to create a creamy luscious base for the dip.

Fold in Marshmallows:

If using gently fold mini marshmallows into the dip until distributed evenly. This adds delightful texture and a touch of extra sweetness in every bite.

Serve Delightfully:

Spoon the Pumpkin Fluff Dip into a serving bowl. Arrange your favorite dippers around it like graham crackers apple slices or gingersnaps for a festive presentation.

Garnish for Presentation:

Top the dip with a dollop of whipped topping and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for a polished finish. For extra flair try adding crushed pecans for crunch and deeper flavor.

One of my favorite things about this dip is how the pumpkin pie spice truly transforms simple ingredients into something festive and comforting. It reminds me of gathering around with family sharing stories while everyone reaches for a spoonful of that creamy goodness paired with crisp apples.

Storage Tips

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and maintain its fluffy texture. Avoid leaving it uncovered to prevent it from picking up other fridge odors. For longer storage freeze in a sealed container for up to two months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and stir gently before serving to reintroduce airiness.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you prefer dairy free options swap whipped topping for chilled coconut cream and use a dairy free vanilla pudding mix to keep it creamy without dairy. You can also experiment with adding pure maple syrup for natural sweetness or include other warming spices like cloves or allspice for a unique twist.
