Pumpkin season is quickly upon us and this Pumpkin Fluff was a recipe that I made way back in 2011 and I still continue to make it to this day.

Pumpkin fluff is a Weight Watcher friendly dessert that is only 51 calories per serving and is only 2 smart points. The whole entire recipe makes a lot and the number of servings is 8.

Ingredients for Pumpkin Fluff with Vanilla Pudding

  • Pumpkin puree is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of recipes, from sweet to savory. Made from cooked and mashed pumpkin, it is commonly used in baking and cooking to add a rich, creamy texture and a subtle sweetness.
  • Instant vanilla pudding mix - I’m a semi homemade cook and whenever I can use ingredients like this I love them. Just add in milk to the pudding. There are different sizes of pudding mix. The regular pudding mix are 3.4 oz and the sugar-free are 1oz. Both require the same amount of milk used.
  • Cool Whip Free - A frozen whipped topping that is found in the freezer section of the grocery store. I like it a lot because I’m lazy and don’t like beating heavy cream to making whipped cream. 😉
  • Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of warm spices that is commonly used in fall and winter recipes. The spice blend typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
  • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Recipe FAQS

How does Weight Watchers work?

Each recipe or food has a Smart Points value. This is calculated using calories, saturated fat, protein, and sugar. It is best to stay away from foods that are loaded with saturated fat and sugar on the plan because those foods are higher in points. When you register with Weight Watchers you are given a daily set of points to target based on your age, gender, height, and activity level. Think of it as an easier way to track your macros.
