Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
  • 1 (16 oz) tub of Cool Whip
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)

Equipment

  • Chill the Pie Dish
  • Prepare the Whipped Cream
  • Soften the Cream Cheese

Method
 

  1. Whip the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. This is the base of your fluffy pie filling.
  2. Add the Pumpkin Puree: Mix in the pumpkin puree until fully combined with the cream cheese. This is where that lovely autumn flavor starts to come alive.
  3. Stir in the Dry Ingredients: Add the vanilla pudding mix, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pumpkin mixture. Mix until smooth and there are no lumps. This will help thicken the filling.
  4. Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula. You want to keep the mixture light and airy, so don’t overmix. You should see fluffy, pumpkin goodness starting to form.
  5. Pour into the Crust: Spoon the pumpkin fluff mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with your spatula.
  6. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, so that the filling has time to set. The colder the pie, the firmer and fluffier the filling will be.
  7. Garnish and Serve: When ready to serve, add a dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

If you're short on time or don't want to bother with a pie crust, consider using a no-bake pie crust or even a simple serving dish to create individual portions of Pumpkin Fluff. This recipe is highly adaptable! You can also make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free graham cracker crust or skip the crust entirely for a lighter dessert. The pie will still taste amazing, and it’s a great way to customize the recipe based on your needs.
