Pumpkin Fluff has just 5 ingredients and is made in 5 minutes! This taste like a creamier and fluffier pumpkin pie filling, perfect to eat as a dip or as pudding with a spoon!

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).

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.

This is an amazing recipe. It’s so rich & creamy. I will be making pumpkin fluff again!
Wondering if a cherry pie filling could be substituted for the pumpkin to serve at a Christmas party?
You could, but omit the added sugar.
