The Magic Trio: What You'll Need

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. Here's your short shopping list:

  • 1 (15-ounce) can solid pack pumpkin: Make sure it's pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.

  • 1 (5-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix: The instant kind is key for achieving that perfect fluffy texture.

  • 1 (16-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed: Like your favorite frozen whipped topping!

(Optional, but highly recommended for that classic fall flavor): 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

 

🥣 Just 3 Steps to Pumpkin Perfection

You won't believe how quickly this comes together. Get ready to impress everyone with virtually no work!

 

Step 1: Gather and Combine the Pumpkin Mixture

 

Start by getting a large mixing bowl. Add the entire can of solid pack pumpkin, the packet of instant vanilla pudding mix, and the pumpkin pie spice.

Using a spoon or whisk, mix these three together until they are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. It will be thick and a rich orange color.

 

Step 2: Fold in the Whipped Topping

 

Now for the fluff! Gently add your thawed whipped topping to the bowl. Use a rubber spatula to fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture. This means you want to gently cut down the center and scoop up from the bottom, turning the mixture over.

Pro Tip: Be gentle! You want to keep as much air in the whipped topping as possible, which is what gives the "fluff" its light, airy texture. Stop mixing once everything is just combined and you don't see any large streaks of plain whipped topping.

 

Step 3: Chill and Serve!

 

Cover the bowl and place the Pumpkin Fluff in the refrigerator. This allows the pudding to fully set and the flavors to meld beautifully. You'll want to chill it for at least a few hours, or until you're ready to serve.
