Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 oz/96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup (240 ml) pumpkin puree
- 1 tub (8 oz/225 g) whipped topping
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- graham crackers
- ginger snaps
- vanilla wafers
- apple slices
- whipped cream
- cinnamon
Instructions
- Blending: Vigorously whisk pumpkin puree, instant pudding mix, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Folding: Gently incorporate whipped topping into the pumpkin base using delicate, sweeping motions to preserve the airy, light texture without deflating the mixture.
- Chilling: Seal the dessert in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least one hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the fluff to set completely.
- Serving: Present the chilled pumpkin fluff in an elegant serving dish, garnishing with a swirl of whipped cream or a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon for an inviting visual appeal.
- Accompaniment: Serve alongside crisp graham crackers, delicate shortbread cookies, or freshly sliced seasonal fruits to create an interactive and textually diverse dessert experience.
Notes
- Prevent Lumps: Whisk pudding mix and pumpkin puree thoroughly to eliminate potential clumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Folding Technique: Use gentle, circular motions when adding whipped topping to preserve its airy volume and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Chill for Best Flavor: Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow ingredients to meld and develop a more intense, harmonious taste profile.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap regular whipped topping with coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free version, or use sugar-free pudding mix for a lower-calorie alternative.
