What Do You Dip in Pumpkin Dip
We love pumpkin dip with pretzels and cookies — wafer cookies, ginger snap cookies, vanilla wafers, and pirouline cookies are all delicious!
For a healthier dip, use pear and apple slices and graham crackers. Or, double up on your sweet tooth and dip your favorite Halloween candy!
You can also use this dip as a spread on zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, or bagels. I bet pumpkin fritters dipped in pumpkin dip would be amazing, too!
Of course, I won’t judge if you just eat it with a spoon, either 😉
How to Make Pumpkin Dip in 5 Minutes
Pumpkin dip couldn’t be easier to make.
Whip the softened cream cheese until it’s fluffy.
If your cream cheese isn’t already softened, you can leave it on the counter for about an hour (a bit less if there’s a good warm area) — or you can use the soften feature on your microwave in a pinch.
Then beat in the pumpkin puree and brown sugar until it’s nice and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and combine well.
Stir in cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
Serve and enjoy!
This can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container (or cover the serving bowl with plastic wrap or aluminum foil) until it’s ready to serve or if there are leftovers — which is unlikely. 😉
Tips for the Best Pumpkin Dip
- Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature so that it is easier to mix.
