Easy Barfing Pumpkin Guacamole Recipe That’s Always a Hit

Halloween has always been a big deal in our home not just because of the costumes and candy, but because it’s a chance to laugh, gather, and make some unforgettable (and messy!) memories in the kitchen. I still remember the year my son carved his pumpkin a little too enthusiastically… and suddenly declared, “Let’s make it puke guac!”

And just like that, our family tradition of the barfing pumpkin guacamole was born.

Now every October, we bring that pumpkin back to life carved with a big open mouth and a dramatic pile of chunky green guacamole spilling out. It’s gross, hilarious, and absolutely delicious. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or just making memories with your kids or grandkids, this recipe is guaranteed to be the talk of the table.

What Makes This Barfing Pumpkin Guacamole Recipe So Special

Sure, you could serve chips and dip in a boring bowl, but where’s the fun in that? This barfing pumpkin guacamole recipe brings together humor, Halloween flair, and seriously good flavor.

It’s spooky without being scary, and festive without any fuss. The best part? You’re just making classic homemade guacamole and giving it a playful presentation by letting your carved pumpkin “vomit” it onto a platter.

Whether you call it pumpkin vomiting, pumpkin carving vomit, or just a good laugh with great guac, it’s the perfect conversation starter for your Halloween get-together.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This festive twist doesn’t require any fancy ingredients. In fact, the guacamole is classic, fresh, and fully customizable.

Here’s what you’ll need for the dip:

• 3 ripe avocados – The creamy base for your guacamole. Make sure they’re soft to the touch but not mushy.
• 1 small tomato (diced) – Adds color, texture, and freshness.
• ¼ cup red onion (finely chopped) – For sharpness and crunch.
• 1 small garlic clove (minced) – A punch of savory depth.
• Juice of 1 lime – Keeps the guac vibrant and tangy.
• Salt and pepper to taste – Season to your preference.
• 1–2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional) – For extra freshness.
• 1 jalapeño (optional, minced) – For a spicy kick, if desired.

And of course, you’ll need:

• 1 small pumpkin – Cleaned, carved, and ready to vomit!
• Tortilla chips or veggie sticks – For serving around your messy masterpiece.

Pro tip: Choose a small to medium pumpkin that sits flat and can be carved with a big, open “mouth” to hold and spill the guac.

How to Make Barfing Pumpkin Guacamole Step-by-Step

How to Make Barfing Pumpkin Guacamole the Fun & Easy Way

Step 1: Prep Your Pumpkin

• Choose a small pumpkin and cut open the top like you would for carving.
• Scoop out all the insides (seeds and stringy pulp).
• Carve a wide, open mouth near the base that dips down to the plate.
• Place the pumpkin on a serving platter and tilt it forward slightly.

Step 2: Make the Guacamole

• Cut and scoop out your avocados into a medium bowl.
• Add the lime juice, garlic, red onion, tomato, and jalapeño if using.
• Mash with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
• Season with salt, pepper, and stir in cilantro if using.

Step 3: Assemble the Barfing Pumpkin

• Scoop the guacamole out of the bowl and “spill” it from the pumpkin’s mouth onto the platter.
• Spread it slightly to make it look like a dramatic pumpkin vomiting scene.
• Arrange tortilla chips, carrot sticks, or celery around the guac and serve!

Helpful Tips & Creepy Variations

• Add texture with toppings: Chopped black olives, green onions, or queso fresco give it some visual ewww-factor.
• Spook it up: Use red salsa or pomegranate seeds to make the guac look “bloody.”
• Make it vegan or low-carb: Serve with cucumber spears, bell pepper strips, or jicama instead of chips.
• For picky eaters: Blend the guacamole smooth and leave out anything spicy or chunky.

This twist on pumpkin carving vomit is all about the presentation, so have fun with it and don’t worry about being too neat!

• Avoid reheating: Guacamole is served cold or room temperature.
• Pumpkin tip: You can carve and prep your pumpkin the night before and refrigerate it until party time.
