Pumpkin Dip

Experience the essence of autumn with this easy Pumpkin Dip. This dessert dip is a creamy blend of pumpkin and spice with cream cheese and Cool Whip. Pair it with your choice of dippers, whether it’s crispy pita chips, apple slices, or ginger snaps.

I brought my Dessert Charcuterie Board to a Halloween party last year, and the only thing missing was this dip. I won’t make that mistake again when I’m planning for Halloween or Thanksgiving because this dip is too good not to share.

What I Love About This Recipe

• Easy to prepare. It’s a hassle-free snack or appetizer that can be whipped up in under 20 minutes, making it perfect for fall gatherings. You can also choose your favorite dippers to go around the dip.
• Crowd-Pleaser. When I made this for friends, every single friend asked for the recipe. It’s also a unique dip to add to any dessert spread or even on a Fruit Tray.
• Great for sharing. Since it’s such a crowd-pleaser it’s the perfect appetizer or snack to share with friends and family.

How to Make Pumpkin Dip

1. Beat the cream cheese and Cool Whip. Place the softened cream cheese and thawed Cool Whip into a mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer and beat using a handheld mixer or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Add the pumpkin puree, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Then sift in the Powdered Sugar to avoid lumps in the dip. Mix on a low speed until fully combined and creamy.
3. Serve. Place the dip into your desired serving bowl and sit on a plate or charcuterie board. You can serve it with ginger snaps, Nilla wafers, pretzels, graham crackers, lady fingers, or even waffle cone pieces (Note: For a firmer dip let it chill in the fridge for 20 minutes prior to serving).

Storage Information

Storing properly is important to maintain its flavor and texture. Here’s how to store Pumpkin Dip:

• Leftovers. Pumpkin Dip should be stored in the refrigerator. Place it in an airtight container with a secure lid.
• Avoid freezing. This dip is best stored in the refrigerator rather than the freezer. Freezing can alter its texture and may cause it to become watery when thawed.

Make Ahead Instructions:

The dip can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I like to make it a day before I plan on serving it to save time.
