Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whisk together pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding mix, warm spices (pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg), and fragrant vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
- Gently incorporate whipped topping, folding carefully to maintain a light, airy consistency that transforms the mixture into a cloud-like dessert.
- For enhanced texture and sweetness, delicately fold mini marshmallows throughout the creamy mixture if desired.
- Seal the bowl with protective wrap and nestle into the refrigerator for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing flavors to harmonize and the fluff to achieve optimal thickness.
