Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
- 3 ounce box instant vanilla pudding powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Optional Garnish
- 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, which should take about 1 minute.
- Fold in Pumpkin Mixture: Gently fold in the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding powder, and pumpkin pie spice until fully combined, being careful to maintain the fluffiness of the whipped cream.
- Pipe or Serve: Transfer the mixture into a large plastic storage bag, slice off a small corner, and pipe the fluff into tumbler glasses for a pretty presentation. Alternatively, you can spoon the mixture into a bowl and serve it as a dip.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pumpkin fluff for at least 2 hours to let it set and develop flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, optionally garnish with additional whipped cream, chopped pecans, or crushed graham crackers for extra texture and taste.
Notes
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- You can substitute the instant vanilla pudding with sugar-free or alternative flavored pudding for a variation.
- For a lighter version, consider using reduced-fat whipped topping and low-fat cream alternatives.
- Make sure the heavy whipping cream is cold to achieve better whipping results.
- The recipe is naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, but check the pudding mix ingredients if strict gluten-free adherence is required.
