Pumpkin Fluff Pie
I try to make a few recipes for every big holiday meal. Thanksgiving can get a bit hectic having a small kid, trying to travel and go to multiple parties on the same day and cook.
This Pumpkin Fluff is perfect easy Thanksgiving dessert recipe to have ready! It can easily be mixed up ahead of time using a large 16-ounce container of whipped topping and stored in the refrigerator. Just before the meal begins spread the fluff in a purchased graham cracker crust and set out on the dessert table.
I always thought my Ten-Minute Berry Cheesecake was the easiest dessert to make in a graham cracker shell until my husband’s aunt shared this recipe with us. Pumpkin Fluff Pie can be made in 5 minutes!
How you want to use the fluff determines whether to use 8 ounces or 16 ounces of cool whip. The cool whip adds a lighter, creamier flavor to the pumpkin. In a dip I like the stronger pumpkin flavor. In a pie I like the lighter cream pie flavors. You can always start with 8 ounces, sample it and stir in more cool whip as desired.
What You’ll Need
- Cool Whip
- Instant Vanilla Pudding
- Can of Pumpkin Puree
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
How to Make It
- Mix
- Chill
- Serve
My husband’s aunt shared this handwritten recipe with us. I love a recipe with 3 steps in the instructions!
Honestly we’ve made this and skipped the chill step and it still tastes fine!

This was so easy to make and delicious! My co-workers loved it, and I loved how I could mix it up in a matter of minutes. Gingersnaps and cinnamon graham crackers were great to dip into the fluff.
One of the best, easiest, tastiest dessert recipes I’ve ever tried! It’s a must try!
Silly question but do you make the vanilla pudding and then put into mix or just use the powder mix?
Hi there! Great question – just add the vanilla pudding mix, the moisture will come from the other ingredients. Hope you enjoy this recipe 🙂
So the flavor was really good but the texture was really off. I think I messed up a super simple recipe my box of instant pudding is 1.7 oz so I used 3 which seemed like a ton. Is the recipe not supposed to be 5 oz of instant pudding mix? ♀️ tastes great and was very easy, just very thick and clumpy lol
Was your pudding mix sugar free? One box either sugar in or sugar free is what to use.
Great question! I just use a regular pudding mix, but I think using sugar free would work just fine. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Can you use home made whip cream instead of cool whip?
Hey There! I haven’t tested using home made whip cream, but it sure sounds delicious! Hope you love the recipe!
