Ingredients

Scale

Fluff Base

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pumpkin Mixture

15 ounce can pumpkin puree
3 ounce box instant vanilla pudding powder (only the powder)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Optional Garnishes

Chopped pecans
Crushed Graham crackers

Instructions

Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on high speed to whip together the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This should take about 1 minute.
Fold in Pumpkin Mixture: Gently fold in the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding powder, and pumpkin pie spice to the whipped cream mixture until fully combined, being careful to maintain the fluffy texture.
Pipe or Serve: Transfer the mixture into a large plastic storage bag and cut off a small corner to pipe the fluff into individual tumbler glasses for a neat presentation. Alternatively, simply scoop the fluff into a serving bowl to enjoy as a dip.
Chill: Place the prepared fluff in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
Garnish: Before serving, optionally garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, chopped pecans, or crushed Graham crackers to add texture and a complementary crunch.

Notes

Use only the instant vanilla pudding powder; do not prepare the pudding before adding.
For a festive touch, sprinkle extra pumpkin pie spice on top just before serving.
This dessert is best served chilled and eaten within 2 days for optimal freshness.
For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with whipped topping or a lighter dairy alternative.
