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.

  1. Did you use pumpkin pie mix/filling, or simply pumpkin? And could you substitute regular pudding mix for the instant? Thanks!

    1. I used pumpkin purée not pie filling. You can try regular pudding, not sure how it will work. I've never tried it.

  2. 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?
