Pumpkin Fluff Dip

This Pumpkin Fluff Dip recipe is a light, creamy, fluffy cream cheese-based pumpkin dip! Perfect with gingersnaps, graham crackers or fruit. 

Fall moved in fast and furious here in Kansas City. One day, it was 95 degrees, and we were all outside swimming. The next day, it was 60 degrees. Quite the shock to the system! I lit the pumpkin candles, put on my sweatpants, and made some Pumpkin Fluff Dip to celebrate the start of the best season! 

“Love this recipe, because I also love pumpkin, and the fall spice flavors. It is my go-to for a quick appetizer, especially in the fall/autumn/Thanksgiving times of year.” – Verla

Pumpkin Fluff Dip is similar to pumpkin cheesecake dip, except it’s much lighter and fluffier. This is thanks to the addition of marshmallow fluff, which is a magical unicorn of an ingredient. In addition to the marshmallow fluff, you can make this dip even fluffier by beating it a bit extra with the mixer, which adds air into the dip. 

Recipe Substitutions

Instead of marshmallow fluff, substitute cool whip or whipped topping. 

If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, that’s okay! Just substitute a pinch each of nutmeg, allspice, ginger, ground cloves and cinnamon.

If you love sweet potatoes, you should try this Sweet Potato Souffle which uses marshmallow fluff as a topping!
