Pumpkin Cool Whip Dessert
Looking for a quick appetizer or dessert for Thanksgiving? This Pumpkin Fluff fits the bill. I wouldn’t classify myself as a pumpkin lover, but I LOVE this dip! Pumpkin, cool whip, vanilla pudding mix, pumpkin spice, and vanilla. Super simple to make and it tastes great! The cool whip and vanilla pudding mix really make this simple dessert. You must give this a try ASAP!
How to Make Pumpkin Fluff
As I said, this is effortless to make. Simply mix together pumpkin, vanilla pudding mix, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and cool whip. Store the dip in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
- This is an easy recipe to lighten up with sugar-free pudding and sugar-free or fat-free cool whip.
- Make sure to use a can of pureed pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
- I use vanilla pudding, but this is also good with butterscotch pudding.
- Do NOT make the pudding. You are going to just use the dry mix in this recipe.
- This recipe uses a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. If you don’t have any on hand, you can make your own with ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ginger, ¼ tsp nutmeg, ¼ tsp allspice.
Easy No-Bake Dessert
This dip is a staple at all of our holiday get-togethers. I always have the ingredients on hand to whip up a batch. I like to serve this with gingersnaps and gingerbread cookies. This is also delicious with graham crackers or apples.

Making this for a Pinterest party. Can it be made a day ahead?
Absolutely! Hope everyone enjoys it!
This looks awesome and yet pretty easy, too.
Oh yeah that looks soooo good!!
Pumpkin + cool whip = one heck of a good time!
Did you use pumpkin pie mix/filling, or simply pumpkin? And could you substitute regular pudding mix for the instant? Thanks!
I used pumpkin purée not pie filling. You can try regular pudding, not sure how it will work. I've never tried it.
Do you use the pudding mix dry? or make the pudding first?
the pudding mix is used dry. Do not make it first.
thanks I was thinking it was dry.. hoping really cause i was in the middle of making it!
LOL!
I love World Market! I will add those gingersnaps to my list – thanks!
Has anyone tried any kind of substitute for Cool Whip? It is full of so many undesirable things! Would homemade whipped cream stand up to being mixed with the pumpkin?
I haven't tried this with anything but Cool Whip. If you try whipped cream, let us know how it turns out.
My grandson would like this I am sure.
