For those of you who don't remember, every year on the WWMB's there would be threads about the ubiquitous Pumpkin Fluff. It is a recipe from the days of yore, which I frankly don't remember because I don't like pumpkin, and I don't have a sweet tooth. Many people loved it, others hated it; the recipe was sought after and argued over. The conversation became part of the Fall Holiday tradition. So, with no further ado, I bring you the annual pumpkin fluff thread. Post your recipes, your opinions, and your memories of pumpkin fluff threads of the past. I ask only that you keep it friendly. And blame the whole thing on zazzles

itsrad, Not sure whether to thank you for praise or blame you for making me a target! But we're all friendly around here, right? So there should be no problems like on the old WW boards. And for those truly interested in pumpkin, check the links to some WW recipes I posted in the other thread. And there is absolutely NO recipe for pumpkin fluff on the WW web site that Google can locate!

No worries, zazzles. This one will stay friendly!!! There are NO pumpkin fluff recipes on the WW website? That is blasphemy. It is just a good thing we are here to save the day. It wouldn't be Fall without Pumpkin Fluff.

Lots of them if you google.
Some call it Pumpkin Mousse, which is SO much classier.

I found a recipe and I have to try it this fall with the ginger snaps, which is pictured with the recipe. I honestly can't remember any PF threads on the old board. I sure hate I missed out on the fun LOL

I was never much into the pumpkin fluff, but there’s a WW ambrosia recipe I’ve been known to make every few years for old times sake.

I mentioned pumpkin fluff in either a cookbook group or perhaps on a daily blog/newsletter I did for nearly ten years and it became standard fare at Thanksgiving/Christmas for a woman I know online...a woman that wrote a food news column in Hawaii...not sure she stuck with the original recipe but...she still thanks me (not WW) for the recipe

I don't think I"ve ever had pumpkin fluff. I like the idea of serving with gingersnaps. May need to do this in school, once it becomes cooler.
It's just not pumpkin weather when it's supposed to be 100 degrees today!

It's too early for pumpkin anything!!
(FYI, I've never had the pumpkin fluff, but I would be willing to try it!)

Pumpkin fluff always used to confuse me because when I think of fluff I think of marshmallow fluff. But I bet it would taste good mixed with that instead of the cool whip and pudding.

So then you just eat this? With a spoon? By itself? I don't think I can...

I've never been able to figure that out. I guess it is like pumpkin pie filling?
