Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Absolutely! I've done this plenty of times when I've run out of Cool Whip. Just know that homemade whipped cream gives pumpkin fluff a softer, less stable texture - it won't hold its shape quite as nicely for dipping. If you go this route, I recommend serving it immediately after making or keeping it extra chilled. My trick? Adding a tablespoon of instant pudding powder to the whipped cream helps stabilize it!

How long does pumpkin fluff dip last in the fridge?

This no-bake pumpkin dessert stays dreamy for about 3 days when stored properly in an airtight container. Here's a tip from someone who's learned the hard way - press plastic wrap directly on the surface before putting the lid on to prevent that weird "fridge skin" from forming. Any longer than 3 days and the texture starts to deflate like a sad balloon.

Can I add cream cheese to make it richer?

Yes, oh yes! Adding 4 ounces of softened cream cheese transforms this into an ultra-luxurious fall dessert dip. Just beat the cream cheese smooth first, then mix with the pumpkin and pudding. You'll need to add an extra splash of milk to maintain that perfect dippable consistency. My book club goes wild when I make this cream cheese version - they say it's like eating pumpkin cheesecake with spoons (not that I'd know anything about that...).
