If you’ve been tuning in to the inaugural season of “The Golden Bachelorette“, then you’re probably as smitten with Joan Vassos as we are. From charming dates in Disneyland to her memorable Golden Prom queen moment, Vassos has quickly become America’s sweetheart.
But when she’s not busy dating the country’s most eligible 50-and-up bachelors, Vassos also seems to love spending time in the kitchen.
Since wrapping up filming, Vassos has taken to TikTok to share some of her favorite home-cooked dishes with her fans. From cozy chicken noodle soup to a crunchy pumpkin seed trail mix, her recipes are full of fall flavor. But there’s one recipe she calls an all-time favorite for this time of year, and it just so happens to be one of ours, too.
“Honestly this is the easiest recipe you’ll ever have,” she shared. “It is the biggest hit.”
Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos’s Favorite Fall Dip
Recently, Vassos gave her TikTok followers a look at what she calls “the best dip you’ll ever taste in your entire life,” also known as Pumpkin Fluff. This simple, four-ingredient dip is the epitome of a no-fuss fall treat.
Pumpkin Fluff is a seasonal treat we’ve been whipping up for years, and we have to agree—it’s as good as she says. The texture is airy yet creamy, and the flavor is pure autumn bliss. Serve it with spiced cookies or graham crackers, and you’ve got yourself a crowd-pleaser that’s ready in minutes.
In her TikTok video, Vassos takes us step-by-step through her “Halloween favorite,” prepping the entire recipe in just one bowl and in less than two minutes. And, yes—season spoiler alert—that is a diamond ring on her fourth finger.
How to Make Pumpkin Fluff Dip
When you’re in need of a quick and easy fall treat, this dessert dip is a go-to. As the Golden Bachelorette notes, you can pretty much memorize the recipe after the first try.
To make it, just stir together two containers of thawed Cool Whip, a whole can of pumpkin, five ounces of instant vanilla pudding mix, and one teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Yep, that’s it.
When it’s time to serve, she suggests dishing it on a fun Halloween platter alongside molasses cookies, gingerbread cookies, or classic vanilla wafers. Vassos says this dip is always quick to go at gatherings, but if there any leftovers, you might find yourself standing in the fridge late-night, scooping it up with a spoon—it’s that good.
Fans in the video comments stand in agreement, saying, “Joan I made this and it’s like addicting.“
So, if you need us, we’ll be spoon-deep in a vat of Pumpkin Fluff as we catch up on episodes of “The Golden Bachelorette“.
