A friend of mine recently asked if I could “make over” her Pumpkin Fluff Dip recipe. Her version was a big hit at her book club gathering, but she knew there had to be a better way than using highly processed Cool Whip and vanilla pudding mix (No comment! LOL).
So after a fun afternoon of experimenting, I present to you this real food, organic, and tasty Pumpkin Fluff Dessert Dip recipe. All I have to say about this is yum. My kids (okay and me too) could not get enough! If only I would have known about this earlier, I would have totally added it to the dessert table at our Halloween party. :)
Pumpkin Fluff Dessert Dip
After a fun afternoon of experimenting, I present to you this real food, organic, and tasty Pumpkin Fluff Dessert Dip recipe.
Print Recipe
Servings: 8 (makes about 2.5 cups)
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice found in the spice aisle
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Optional garnishes and dippers
- pumpkin pie spice garnish
- cinnamon garnish
- apples sliced, for dipping
- whole-wheat graham crackers for dipping
Instructions
- In the bowl of your mixer fitted with a whisk (or use a large mixing bowl and electric beaters), combine the heavy cream, cream cheese, syrup, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Turn the mixer to low and blend until the cream cheese is broken up and no longer in big clumps. Turn the speed up to high and blend until the mixture thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Turn the speed back down to low and carefully blend in the pumpkin puree. Scrape the bowl with a spatula if necessary.
- Serve with sliced apples and whole-wheat graham crackers. If garnishing with cinnamon, try out fresh! Store leftover dip in the fridge.

This sounds awesome! My friend always makes a marshmallow fluff fruit dip, I’m thinking if I leave out the pumpkin this could be similar!
Oh, give it a try, we’d love to hear how it turns out. – Nicole
AWESOME. I messed up and added everything all at once but it still turned out great. My whole family LOVED it. It’s the perfect fall treat without being too heavy or sweet. It really is perfection.
