    This 5 ingredient Pumpkin Fluff is so easy to make and is just 2 Smart Points per scant ½ cup serving on the myWW Blue, my WW Purple & myWW Green plans.

    To find out how many Personal Points this recipe will be for you & to track it directly into your WW App, click on the blue button in recipe card below!

    It is 2 Smart Points per serving on the old Weight Watchers Freestyle plan if you still follow that one!

    If you are following any of the WW plans and you like pumpkin spice, this will definitely become a go to dessert recipe this Fall!

    But even if you are not following a WW plan, you will still love this Pumpkin dip.

    What's not to love? It's light, it's creamy and it has a delicate sweet pumpkin spice flavour. It's perfect for dipping cookies and fruit or even for eating with a spoon!

    Serve it as a low Point dessert this Fall and still stay within your points! Yay!

    So we are well and truly into Pumpkin season!

    Everywhere you look there is pumpkin flavoured this, pumpkin spice that ... and I love it!

    If you're a bit of a pumpkin spice fiend (like me) then take a look at these Pumpkin Spiced Scones recipe. They are 7 Points per scone so are a fraction of the Smart Point value of those sold in Starbucks (& are just as good, even if I do say so myself 😀 )

    I digress, so back to Pumpkin Fluff!

    I have seen lots of recipes for Pumpkin Fluff doing the rounds of the internet,  so I wanted to give a few of them a try.

    The recipes vary enormously and some of them are much higher in Points than others.

    I played around with recipes and this version has got to be my favourite.

    It is light, creamy and sweet with a delicate taste of pumpkin spice!

    And what is more, it is not too high in Points! Yay!

    In fact, it is 1 Point for me now on the WW Personal Points plan for just under half a cups worth.

    But to make it so low in Points, you do need to be careful about which ingredients you use.

    Please be aware that this post was written prior to Weight Watchers changing to the WW Personal Points Plan! You can discover exactly how many Personal Points this recipe will be for you by clicking on the blue ‘WW Personal Points’ button in the recipe card below.

    Which Cool Whip should I use?

    There are quite a few varieties of Cool Whip available nowadays - Sugar Free, Fat Free, Lite, Original etc.

    Each variety has a different Point value so just be aware when choosing from the chiller cabinet, that you need to pick up the Fat Free version.

    To keep the Point values low as possible, I used Cool Whip Fat Free in this recipe.

    You could also use Cool Whip Sugar Free or Cool Whip Lite for the same amount of SmartPoints.

    Cool Whip Original works out at 3 Smart Point per scant ½ cup serving.

    Which Pudding Mix should I use

    I used a single (1oz) packet of Jell-o Fat Free Vanilla Pudding mix in this recipe.

    This was just enough pudding mix to give the recipe a creamy texture with a slight hint of vanilla but not too much that it pushed the Smart Points up.

    Do check the box though because Jell-o pudding comes in lots of different packet sizes!

    I used a 1oz packet but if that size is not readily available where you are, buy a bigger packet and measure out 1oz.

    What should I serve with Pumpkin Fluff

    Fresh fruit and berries are always a good choice to serve with this Pumpkin Fluff as they are zero Smart Points.

    Sliced apples are particularly good to dip.

    I love Anise Reko Pizzelles, which you can buy from Amazon and at 1 Smart Point per cookies (or 5 Smart Points for 6) they are a good low Smart Point option for dipping or scooping!

    If you have the Smart Points to spare, take a look at these Low Point Cookies for more dipping inspiration.

    This delicious light and creamy Pumpkin Fluff is just 2 Smart Points per serving on Weight Watchers Freestyle Plan, myWW Blue Plan, myWW Purple plan & myWW Green plan. The whole recipe makes just under 6 cups of Pumpkin Fluff so each serving is a scant half cup. Dip zero point fruit or low Smart Point cookies for a tasty, low Smart Point dessert!

      Would almond milk work as well in this recipe as skim milk?

        Yes! Almond milk would work just fine 🙂

      There is absolutely nothing healthy about this recipe except the pumpkin and the spices, so I'll pass but it probably is tasty.

      I tried using sugar free pumpkin spice coffee creamer instead of almond milk and it gave it a little extra pumpkin kick:)

      I only had a fat-free sugar-free butterscotch pudding and the flavor was very good! Great when you need a guiltless dessert.

        Do it! And let us know. I’m going to make this tomorrow and was just thinking about freezing some individuals. Great guiltless treat!

      What if I don’t have any milk? Is the point of the milk to help bind the ingredients?

        Hi Alyssa

        Yes the milk is to help bind the ingredients and to make it a little more 'spoonable'. I would think that you could swap out the milk for a little water. Doing that would decrease the SmartPoint value by 1 point (over the whole recipe!).

        Hope this helps
        Kind regards

      Can I use my own whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

      Reply
      • Marianne says

        November 02, 2021 at 3:19 pm

        Sorry, I am unable to advise as I have never done that. Using your own whipped cream would obviously change the SmartPoints / calorie count significantly as the fat free / sugar free cool whips tend to be quite low in calories.
        Kind regards
