Main Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff or 2 cups mini marshmallows (melted)
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1½ cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ½ cup sugar or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients to ensure a smooth process. If using mini marshmallows, you may toast them lightly for added flavor, though this is optional.
- Combine Pumpkin and Pudding Mix: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding mix, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well blended.
- Add Marshmallow Fluff: Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff or melted mini marshmallows until fully incorporated, creating the light and fluffy texture.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully fold the whipped topping into the mixture, taking care not to deflate it, to add volume and creamy richness.
- Chill Until Set: Transfer the Pumpkin Fluff into a serving dish or individual cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and texture to firm up.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to achieve a smoother texture.
- Fold whipped topping gently to maintain lightness and avoid deflation.
- Adjust sugar amount based on the sweetness of your pumpkin puree.
- Chill overnight for enhanced flavor blending.
- Toast marshmallows as a garnish for added caramelized flavor and visual appeal.
