I’ve made lots of fluff recipes in my time, from traditional Watergate salad to fun twists like Oreo Fluff. I love how EASY it is to make with ingredients you can get at the store (and affordable ones too!)

Ever year, around August, I start wanting to make pumpkin desserts because I’m craving fall, but it’s still hot. That’s where a no-bake pumpkin dessert comes in handy. This simple recipe is cool and light, but tastes like fall! It’s perfect in a no bake pumpkin pie recipe but also as a dip or with a spoon (and if you’re watching calories it’s easy to make some simple subs).

Canned pumpkin, Cool Whip, pumpkin spice, milk in a small cup, and vanilla pudding mix are arranged on a white surface. Each item is labeled for making delicious pumpkin fluff.

5 Ingredient Pumpkin Pie Dip

  • Pudding Mix: Use instant vanilla or cheesecake pudding mix.
  • Milk: You’ll need milk to thin it – you can use regular or nonfat.
  • Cool Whip: Use any variation/brand you like. You can also substitute whipped cream but it won’t last as long.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Be sure not to buy pumpkin pie mix.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: This gives it that telltale pumpkin pie flavor. Buy it or make DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice.

Pumpkin Fluff Variations

  • Make the dip sugar-free by using sugar free pudding mix and sugar free whipped topping.
  • I haven’t tried making it with nondairy milk because pudding usually needs cows milk but you need to use about half to 2/3 the amount of milk for it to set up. You may need to adjust the amount of whipped topping.
  • Add marshmallows to make it a traditional fluff salad.
  • Add nuts for some crunch
  • Substitute 3 cups freshly whipped cream for the whipped topping if you prefer.
