Pumpkin Fluff Super Easy for Gatherings

Hey All :tongue:

Not sure if there is a Pumpkin Fluff Recipe out there, BUT I had to share. It is one of my favorites for this time of year. Perfect for dividing the batch and taking to different gatherings. Stays chilled, so it lasts a while.

Pumpkin Fluff Dip

1 - 15 oz can of pumpkin
1 - 8 oz tub of cool whip or whipped topping (lite of course)
1 - jell-o vanilla instant pudding & pie filling (just the powder, no need to make pudding)
1 - teaspoon of all spice

Combine all these ingredients by stirring very well or beat with mixer.
Chill and serve with low-fat graham crackers.
(Makes either one really good sized batch or you could divide into smaller cups and give out as gifts!) :flowerforyou:

It's a big hit and it is lite. Great for parties or just to snack on!
ENJOY! :flowerforyou:

    You can also try 0% or 2% plain greek yogurt in place of the cool whip - less calories and lots of nutrients and protein! Not to mention it tastes great, I eat this almost every day as a snack. Instead of the all spice, I use pumpkin pie spice. :))

    Yipeee!!! I had something like this at a party and I love the low cal way. Try sugar free vanilla pudding? Also, even tastier with pretzels. LOL.

    Yes, just tried this a couple of days ago! YUM! Pumpkin puree + Greek Yogurt = YUM!
    (I just used cinnamon because that's all I had... a little pure vanilla extract & Splenda - Don't bash my splenda! I don't want to hear it! :tongue:

    Didn't think about using it as a dip though.. I'll try that!

    Curious if anyone would consider replacing the vanilla pudding mix with cheesecake flavor? (ala Starbucks pumpkin cream cheese muffin ...) Or would that be a no no?

    Why would that be a no no?? Do it! Doesn't matter what flavor you use! I did that for a snack a couple months ago... poured some cheesecake flavor pudding mix in my greek yogurt & crumbled some graham crackers on it! YUMMY!

    smiley-bounce004.gif < "bump" for Thanksgiving!!

    Thank you for posting. I plan to make a "trial run" with Greek yogurt, and Stevia for sweetening, and I think the cheesecake flavor (sugar-free) yogurt sounds like a great idea.

    Another variation might be to use the white chocolate (sugar-free) also.

    I wonder how good it would be to put this fluff into a graham cracker crust to make a low cal pie?? Hmmm... the things you can think!! Sounds like a great dessert to take to a family dinner!

    Or make mock ice cream sandwiches! Like the Choc graham cracker and coolwhip-- but pumpkin fluff in reg or cinnamon graham crackers!

    I went to the recipe calculator at SparkPeople.com and used the ingredients listed in the first post with a lite graham cracker crust and divided into 6 slices - its 84.3 calories, 2.5 total fat, 1.7 sat fat, .3 cholesterol, 229.5 sodium, 149.2 potassium, 15 total carbs, 2 fiber, 6 sugars, 1.3 protein....

    That sounds pretty good to me!!! If ya'll think this doesn't sound right, please let me know because I plan on making this ASAP!!!

    When I make this I crumble up cinnamon graham crackers then layer with the fluff stuff in parfait glasses. Top with a drop of coolwhip sprinkled with fine cookie crumbs. Looks as good as it taste.

    Just tried this last night and it is AWESOME! :) I used 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp cloves for a pumpkin pie seasoning... Brought some to work this morning with graham crackers and it's been a big hit. Thanks for the recipe! Also, I had an idea for a pie with this filling... Get a pre-made graham cracker pie crust, fill with the seasoned pumpkin fluff, and sprinkled chopped pecans and shaved chocolate (or some chocolate syrup) on the top... serve and enjoy! :)
