# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin purée
02 - 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
03 - 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

→ Spices & Flavorings

06 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Add pumpkin purée and instant vanilla pudding mix to a large bowl; mix thoroughly with a spatula or hand mixer until smooth and lump-free.
02 - Stir in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until evenly blended throughout the mixture.
03 - Gently fold thawed whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture with a spatula, preserving its airy texture by avoiding vigorous stirring.
04 - Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Use cold pumpkin purée and whipped topping to maintain fluffiness and avoid runny texture.
02 - Gently fold whipped topping to preserve airiness and prevent deflation.
03 - Prepare one day ahead for improved flavor melding.
