Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, instant vanilla pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until well blended and smooth.

Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is creamy.

If desired, add any optional ingredients such as mini marshmallows or brown sugar for extra sweetness and texture. Stir until evenly distributed.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the pumpkin fluff in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and improve the texture. Refrigeration is required for the best taste.

Serve the chilled Pumpkin Fluff with apple slices, graham crackers, gingersnap cookies, or vanilla wafers. Enjoy!
