Every caregiver or individual new to or familiar with a pureed diet, has days that they are exhausted and/or stressed with needing new food ideas to come up with. Pumpkin Fluff can be served as a dessert or snack, and anyone in the household is going to enjoy it!
Besides being light and delicious, this recipe has other huge benefits to the busy caregiver. It requires no cooking and takes only minutes to make with a few ingredients. You only need to dirty one bowl so this recipe won’t be adding more clean up work to your already full plate.
It is a seasonal delight and something easy to bring to a gathering or holiday meal. Your loved one will be able to eat this dessert along with everyone else and enjoy the social gathering.
The ingredients you will need:
1 – 8 ounce container of cool whip
1- 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
1 – 3.4 ounce box of jello instant pudding, cheesecake flavor
1 -teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 – teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir. Enjoy! It’s as easy as that!
*This may be too thick for some individuals on a pureed diet. You could add milk as needed to their portion to make it less sticky or thick.
If you have a seasonal recipe you make please feel free to share in the comments below. I think this recipe is highly adaptable with other food combinations. Can you think of any? Let me know and I’ll whip it up!
My goal is to build a community for individuals and caregivers cooking for those on a pureed diet to help others and feel supported and share what works for them.
