Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup (180 g) creamy peanut butter classic no-stir is best
- 1 packet (96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz (96g); not prepared
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk cold; whole or 2% preferred
- 8 oz (225 g) frozen whipped topping thawed (e.g. Cool Whip)
Optional Toppings

Equipment
- Electric mixer
- Mixing bowl

Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add peanut butter: Add the creamy peanut butter and beat again until completely combined and creamy.
- Add pudding mix and milk: Sprinkle in the dry instant vanilla pudding mix. Begin mixing, then slowly pour in the cold milk, blending until smooth and silky. Scrape the bowl as needed.
- Fold in whipped topping: Add the thawed whipped topping and gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture with a spatula until fully combined and streak-free.
- Chill: Transfer the fluff to a serving dish, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours (or overnight) for best texture and flavor.
- Top and serve: Add your desired toppings before serving. Serve with graham crackers, cookies, fruit, pretzels, or just a spoon!
Notes
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. If freezing, thaw overnight in the fridge and stir gently before serving; texture will be somewhat denser. Do not reheat. For peanut butter cup flavor, use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla. Add-ins like crushed cookies or banana slices are welcome! To make gluten-free, ensure your pudding mix and all dip-ins are gluten-free.
