FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I don’t like Buttermilk. Can I use regular milk?

You can, but it won’t be as good. You can’t taste the buttermilk in this recipe. The fat content in the buttermilk adds a wonderful texture and makes this fluff creamy. We highly recommend not replacing it.

Can I use real pumpkin, not from a can, and if so, how much?

Yes, you can, and it would still be 1/2 cup.

Can I make homemade whipped cream?

Yes! Homemade whipped cream works fine if you don’t want to use Cool Whip.

HOW TO STORE

Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for 3-4 days. I don’t recommend freezing this recipe.
