How to Make Pumpkin Fluff a Vegan Pumpkin Dip
Step 1: Skim the coconut cream off the top of the can. Dispose of the water that has fallen to the bottom.
Step 2: Combine coconut cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
Step 3: Use a hand mixer to whip the ingredients together until they create a light and fluffy texture, about 1-2 minutes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. Dip will thicken as it cools.
