Tips & Variations

• For a richer taste, use full-fat pumpkin puree and regular pudding mix instead of sugar-free versions.
• Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans inside the fluff for extra crunch.
• Replace pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves if you prefer to control the spice blend.
• Serve the fluff with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness.

Storage

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned puree?

Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin puree. Roast and mash a small pumpkin until smooth before using it in the recipe. Keep in mind fresh puree may have a slightly different texture and moisture content.

Is this dessert suitable for diabetics?

Since this recipe uses sugar-free pudding and Cool Whip, it is lower in sugar and may be suitable for some diabetics. However, always check the specific product labels and consult a healthcare provider to be sure.
