What is Pumpkin Dip?

Your newest fall favorite dessert, that’s what!

With a taste similar to pumpkin cheesecake, this pumpkin dip is every bit as rich and decadent as both cheesecake and pumpkin pie but meant to be scooped with your favorite dipper like apple slices.

Pumpkin dip is dissimilar to pumpkin fluff which uses cool whip and vanilla pudding mix. Although, both are light and fluffy and perfect for a fall party.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Cream cheese — You’ll want it to be at room temperature to get an ultra-smooth texture.
  • Confectioners sugar — aka powdered sugar.
  • Pumpkin puree — the star ingredient, but make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling but 100% pure pumpkin.
  • Spices — pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and ground ginger.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One — Place the softened cream cheese in a bowl and mix on a medium-low setting. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar. Don’t add it too quickly, or it will fly everywhere.

How to serve

Try any or all of these with your pumpkin pie dip:

  • Graham crackers or biscotti cookies
  • Ginger snaps
  • Sliced apples
  • Pretzels
  • Berries
  • Marshmallows
  • Vanilla wafers
  • Frozen banana pieces

Variations

  • Use 1 1/2-2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice in place of the cinnamon and ginger.
  • Add 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips.
  • Can’t find pumpkin puree? Roasted sweet potatoes will work as well.
  • Mix in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

Recipe FAQs

Can I freeze pumpkin dip?

Do you have some left? But yes, you can as long as you’ve used regular, not low-fat or fat-free cream cheese. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When ready to use it, once thawed, remix it by either with a hand mixer or by hand.

Can I use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned?

Absolutely, we love the ease of canned pumpkin puree but homemade is lovely too.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Make it up to 3 days in advance, and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
