Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream, cold
Fluff Dip Mixture
- 4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 8 oz. pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Add the cold heavy whipping cream to a bowl and whisk at medium speed for 45-60 seconds until it thickens slightly to a looser whipped cream stage, where it still falls off the spoon but is not stiff. Using a hand beater or whisk attachment is recommended for best results.
- Separate the Whipped Cream: Scoop the whipped cream into a separate bowl. There is no need to clean the original bowl, but if using an electric mixer, switch out the whisk attachment for a paddle attachment.
- Cream the Base Mixture: In the original bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Incorporate Pumpkin and Whipped Cream: Add the pumpkin puree and whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on low speed until all ingredients are gently and evenly incorporated, forming a fluffy dip.
- Serve: Transfer the pumpkin fluff dip into a serving bowl or hollowed-out pumpkin for a festive presentation. Serve immediately with your choice of chips or crackers.
Notes
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices that can alter flavor.
- For a looser whipped cream texture, avoid over-whipping to stiff peaks.
- Powdered sugar can be adjusted for sweetness preference.
- Serve promptly or refrigerate shortly before serving to maintain fluffiness.
