1 can 15 oz pumpkin puree: This is the star of the dish. Pumpkin puree adds a naturally sweet and earthy flavor, making the fluff taste indulgent while providing a dose of vitamins A and C.
1 package 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix: This not only adds sweetness but also helps in thickening the fluff. The instant version makes the preparation fast and easy.
1 container 8 oz whipped topping (thawed): Whipped topping adds an airy texture to the fluff. Alternatives include homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice: A blend of spices that brings warmth and depth to the flavor. It typically includes ginger cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
½ tsp cinnamon: Enhances the flavor and adds a comforting aroma that is characteristic of fall treats.
¼ tsp nutmeg: This spice complements the pumpkin flavor in a delightful way creating a balance of sweetness and warmth.
1 tsp vanilla extract: Adds a sweet aromatic flavor that rounds out the recipe beautifully.
1 cup mini marshmallows optional: For those who enjoy added sweetness and texture, these provide a fun element to the fluff.
Graham crackers or gingersnap cookies for serving: These serve as a delightful accompaniment for dipping into the pumpkin fluff.

Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl, add 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree, 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix these ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Incorporate Whipped Topping: Once the pumpkin mixture is smooth, gently fold in 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping; this will ensure your fluff remains light and airy.
Add Sweetness: If desired, fold in 1 cup mini marshmallows for extra sweetness and texture. This step is optional, but it can enhance the fluff’s flavor profile.
Chill for Flavor: After everything is mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the fluff to a serving dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve your pumpkin fluff with graham crackers or gingersnap cookies on the side for dipping. Enjoy the creamy, spiced treat with family and friends!
