Easy Pumpkin Fluff Recipe
Most fluff recipes I see are more like Ambrosia salad with marshmallows and coconut flakes. But this Pumpkin Fluff has neither of those things.
It has the taste and wonderful mousse-like texture of pumpkin pie filling, but there’s no crust and no baking involved! Enjoy some piped into individual parfait glasses with a spoon or serve in a bowl as a dip.

The best part is that canned pumpkin is available all year long, so this recipe isn’t relegated to just the fall or holidays.
How To Make Pumpkin Fluff
It’s so easy to make this and doesn’t require any cooking. Here’s the brief rundown.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

What to Serve with Pumpkin Fluff Dip
My daughter, who isn’t a huge fan of pumpkin, absolutely loves this! So, I’ve actually served it as an after school snack dip – it’s great with sliced apples, graham crackers, or gingersnap cookies.
Proper Storage
Pumpkin fluff can be served right after making, but for optimal flavor and texture, allow the mixture to chill for at least 2 hours. It’s so good cold! You can even make it the night before. Leftovers should be covered tightly and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. I don’t recommend freezing it.

Absolutely my new favorite pumpkin dessert!
Served this at a Bridesmaid Luncheon! It was a huge hit??
This is fantastic. I did have to make a couple of changes because my dad is diabetic. Instead of powdered sugar, I used measure for measure Splenda. I also swapped a 1oz box of sugar free vanilla pudding for the 3 oz box of regular pudding. No toppings. Big thumbs up from my whole family
What a great way to use extra pumpkin puree. It’s another one on my list.
Wowza. This sounds like something I could devour immediately. Especially since I DEFINITELY have pumpkin puree and heavy cream on hand. Always.
You are so funny! It didn’t sound pornographic to me, but all your subsequent comments did. Love your sense of humor. And the fluff sounds great!
Wonderful recipe – served it with gingersnaps and everyone loved it!
Totally serving this at small group this week (or soon). Yumm!!
Still trying to use up last years canned pumpkin. Perfect!
Good lord, woman, you’re going to make me fat!! heehee…just kidding…sort of. All of your desserts just look so delish that I want to make them all! And I agree that fresh whipped cream is sooo much better than Cool Whip (although I wouldn’t kick it out of bed for eating crackers)!!
This was GREAT. I also like the fresh whipped cream idea to finish it off. We all loved it.
OMG. This was eeeeveeeerything.
