About this Recipe

Pumpkin Fluff Dip makes a delicious no-bake dessert that you can serve with gingersnap cookies, graham crackers, sliced apples, and a variety of other easy treats. This creamy pumpkin dip is sure to become a favorite party appetizer. Serve it at your Thanksgiving get-together, or store it in small individual containers for a treat you can take with a packed lunch. 

Ingredients

Cream Cheese: The tangy, rich cream cheese makes this dip thick and creamy while also creating an airy texture when whipped. Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before you start the dip, or it won’t get super fluffy. Use full fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture. It’s a holiday dip after all, go ahead and indulge!

Marshmallow Creme: The marshmallow creme puts the “fluff” in Pumpkin Fluff Dip and it helps the dip stay fluffy too. Not only does it give your pumpkin dip an airy, light texture, it also adds all the sweetness to this dessert dip.

Pumpkin Puree: This delicious pumpkin recipe is made with real pumpkin puree so you get lots of pumpkin flavor. You want to use 100% pumpkin that doesn’t have any added sugar or spices. If you want to use homemade Pumpkin Puree, make sure to drain it very well, you don’t want your dip to be watery.

Pumpkin Pie Spice: Pumpkin pie spice is a cozy blend of warm baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can make your own Pumpkin Pie Spice blend or use a store-bought, whichever is easiest!

Can this be made ahead of time?

While you can definitely prepare your dip in advance before you want to serve it, there aren’t really any steps you can take to save time making this fluffy pumpkin dip. The only thing is if you want to make your own pumpkin puree, make that ahead at least a day so it is cooled completely.  

How to Store

  • Serve: Don’t leave Pumpkin Fluff Dip at room temperature for more than 2 hours. It’s best kept chilled so you can put the bowl in larger bowl with ice to keep it cold at parties.
  • Store: You can transfer the dip into an airtight container to chill in the fridge. Or keep it in individual dessert cups with lids. If they’re in serving-sized containers you can grab the dip for packed lunches.
  • Freeze: You can also store the dip in the freezer. Store it in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap under the lid to prevent frostbite. Thaw the dip in the fridge then give it a quick mix to fluff it back up and serve.

Ideas to Serve

  • Dessert Board: Serve this addictive treat as the centerpiece on a Fall charcuterie board at your next party or family get-together. Surround it with tasty dippers like graham crackers, vanilla wafers, ginger snaps, and animal crackers. Some Candied Pecans, homemade candy (like Toffee Bits), and roasted pumpkin seeds help finish off the sweet dessert board!
  • Fruit Dip: Fluff dip is perfect for dipping fruit. Your favorite fresh sliced apples and pears are great for dunking, or you can dip dried fruit chips like banana chips or apple chips.
  • Spread: This Pumpkin Fluff makes a sweet spread for baked goods in the fall! Try it on some Pumpkin Bread for a delicious pumpkin dessert. Spread it on a warm English muffin or toast for a tasty breakfast treat.
  • Cannoli: For an easy, amazing pumpkin dessert pipe the creamy pumpkin fluff dip into a store-bought cannoli shell. Add some pumpkin pie spice to Whipped Cream for a nice topping and serve chilled!

Frequent Questions

What if I don’t have a stand mixer?

If you don’t have a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, you can combine the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until it’s mixed and fluffy, just avoid pureeing it. You can also whisk it by hand, but it is going to be more creamy than fluffy unless you can stir super fast.

Do I need Cool Whip to make Pumpkin Fluff?

No, you don’t need any Cool Whip, or frozen whipped topping, to make this Pumpkin Fluff Dip. Instead it is made with marshmallow creme and cream cheese.

Variations

  • Flavorings: There are lots of easy ingredient swaps to change the flavor of this pumpkin recipe. Try mixing in some vanilla extract, almond extract, or powdered sugar. The powdered sugar is good if you want some extra sweetness. You can also change up the amounts of individual ingredients like the pumpkin spice. Skip the pumpkin spice and use cinnamon for less pumpkin pie taste.
  • Vanilla Pudding: You could also use a vanilla pudding mix for a creamier, thicker, sweeter Pumpkin Fluff Dip. You’ll need 1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix. Just whip the vanilla instant pudding in at the same time you add the pumpkin puree. To get vanilla flavor without the pudding, just mix in vanilla extract. Change up the flavor even more by using butterscotch or cheesecake instant pudding mix.
  • Mix-ins: For some delicious mix-ins add chocolate chips, crushed almonds, or crushed pecans. Mini chocolate chips will be easier to pick up in the dip, than full-sized chocolate chips. You could also mix in some sprinkles and food coloring for an extra festive-looking Pumpkin Dip.
  • Whipped Topping: For an even fluffier dip, you can use frozen whipped topping, which has been thawed first. Simply swap half the marshmallow creme and cream cheese amounts with Cool Whip, or leave out the marshmallow creme all together so it’s not overly sweet.

  1. This pumpkin fluff recipe is the best! We even love it just like a pudding or mousse. Also we have put it in a graham cracker pie crust and eaten it as a pie.
