How to make Pumpkin Pie Fluff

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

Whipped cream – I use store made whipped cream to make this recipe nice and easy. You can make your own with heavy whipping cream if you prefer.
Jello cream cheese instant pudding and pie filling – you will need not only the flavor and sweetness of this instant pudding but also the texture. You can usually find this in the baking section.
Pumpkin Puree – you can use fresh or canned pumpkin, see note below about how to bake a fresh pumpkin. Pumpkin has a strong earthy flavor, especially fresh pumpkin, which is the main flavor in this fluff.

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Cinnamon has that warm seasonal spicy hit that makes this pumpkin pie fluff look nice and taste even better! You can also use nutmeg, clove, or allspice.

Use fresh pumpkin. If you want to use fresh pumpkin simply cut it in half, scoop out all the seeds, spread some oil on the inside and bake it with the flesh down at 400 degrees until a knife inserts easily. Scoop the pumpkin out and mix until smooth.

What to Serve With Pumpkin Pie Fluff

Whipped Cream: A classic pairing with pumpkin pie and its variations, whipped cream adds a creamy and indulgent element that balances the lightness of the fluff.

Graham Crackers: Serve graham crackers on the side for dipping. The sweet and slightly crunchy crackers provide a contrast in texture and a hint of additional sweetness.

Gingersnap Cookies: Gingersnap cookies have a warm, spicy flavor that pairs wonderfully with pumpkin. Their snap adds a satisfying crunch to each bite of the fluff. Try Chewy Molasses Cookies or 10 Minute Baked Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Holes, too!

Toasted Nuts: Chopped toasted pecans or walnuts can add a delicious crunch and a nutty flavor that complements the pumpkin and spices in the fluff.

Fresh Berries: Consider serving fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries alongside the fluff. Their natural sweetness and juicy texture can balance the creaminess of the dessert.

Cinnamon or Nutmeg Sprinkle: A light dusting of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the fluff can enhance the pumpkin spice flavors and add an aromatic touch.

Caramel Drizzle: A drizzle of caramel sauce over the pumpkin pie fluff can add richness and an additional layer of sweetness.

Chocolate Shavings or Chips: If you’re a fan of chocolate, you could sprinkle some chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips on top of the fluff for a delightful contrast of flavors.

Crushed Pretzels: For a unique twist, crushed pretzels can provide a salty-sweet element that complements the sweetness of the fluff.

Vanilla Ice Cream: If you want to turn it into an even more decadent dessert, serving a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the pumpkin pie fluff can be a delightful treat.
