Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (or homemade whipped cream)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Pumpkin and Spices: Stir in the pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. This keeps the dip light and airy.
- Chill: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Serve: Serve chilled with your choice of dippers, such as apple slices, graham crackers, pretzels, or vanilla wafers.
Notes
- Use Pure Pumpkin Purée: Avoid pumpkin pie filling, as it contains added sugar and spices that can overpower the dip’s flavor. Stick to pure pumpkin purée for the best results.
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth, lump-free dip.
- Serve Chilled: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes enhances its flavors and creates the perfect creamy texture. Keep it cold until ready to serve!
