Pumpkin Dip Ingredients
You only need a few simple ingredients for this fluffy pumpkin dip recipe. You can find them in your grocery store or online.
- Pumpkin puree — Look for a canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Instant vanilla pudding mix — Instant pudding mix, not cook and serve
- Ground cinnamon — pairs well with pumpkin
- Pumpkin pie spice — for that traditional pumpkin spice flavor
- Cool Whip — or any whipped topping
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Dip with Cool Whip
First, add the can of pumpkin puree, dry pudding mix and spices to a mixing bowl.
Note — you are just adding the dry pudding mix only, not the ingredients to make pudding.
Mix the ingredients together until everything is completely blended. You can use a spoon or an electric mixer ( hand mixer ) for this if you like.
Next, add the Cool Whip to the pumpkin mixture. Blend everything together until the dip is light and fluffy.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap, and pop it into the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
I thought the pumpkin dip needed a little something extra, so we added some pretty fall sprinkles over the top. And that’s all there is to it.
Just spoon the dip into a nice serving bowl, so you and your guests can just dig right in!
How to Store
Store pumpkin pie dip tightly covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. After serving, don’t let it sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours. You can make this easy pumpkin dip recipe a day ahead of time.
No bake pumpkin dip keeps for 4 to 5 days covered in the refrigerator before it starts to break down. Usually, it is used up before that time!
Variations
You can easily change up the basic dip recipe. To make pumpkin dip with cream cheese, add 8 ounces cream cheese for a pumpkin cheesecake flavor dip.
Make your own whipped cream using heavy cream instead of Cool Whip. The texture will be slightly different, though.
Top this fluffy dip with mini chocolate chips or M and M’s. You can add brown sugar or maple syrup for a sweeter dip and play around with the spices to get the flavor you like best.
What to Serve with Pumpkin Fluff Dip
Serve the dip with your favorite dippers like gingersnap cookies, graham crackers, apple slices, pretzels, shortbread cookies or vanilla wafer cookies.
And really, you don’t have to save this pumpkin pie dip for Thanksgiving. It’s perfect for fall potlucks, Halloween parties or whenever you need an easy dip.
If you like pumpkin pie at Christmas, this dip would be a great addition to your holiday dessert menu along with ginger snaps and vanilla wafers!
Expert Tips
Make sure Cool Whip is fully thawed before using. Also, gently fold the Cool Whip into the dip with a spatula so it doesn’t break down.
Use a can of pure pumpkin, not pie filling.
Add the dry pudding mix directly to the dip. Don’t follow instructions on the box for making pudding.

Very delicious! Thank you for this nice recipe.
Can you use the can of Libby’s pumpkin purée that already has the spices in it?
You can, but don’t add any other spices before tasting as it may be too sweet or have too much spice.
This was so easy to make! Perfect for game day dessert!
This was so easy to make and so delicious! Tastes just like pumpkin pie! I like it best on graham crackers 😊
Looks wonderful! Can this dip be frozen?
I haven’t tried freezing the dip since it always goes within a day or 2 at our house. I’m not sure if it would thaw well without being too watery.
What a treat! You can never do too much with pumpkin! The kids loved this one too!
Really easy and yummy recipe . Thanks for sharing this recipe.
