Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz 226 g cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 8 oz 226 g whipped topping, thawed
Optional Toppings
  • Chopped pecans
  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Caramel sauce
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream

Method
 

  1. Soften the cream cheese: Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature so it blends smoothly.
  2. Beat the cream cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the pumpkin mixture: Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until the ingredients are completely combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Add the whipped topping and gently fold it into the pumpkin cheesecake mixture using a spatula until light and fluffy.
  5. Chill: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Add toppings: Before serving, sprinkle with cinnamon, graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, or your favorite toppings.
  7. Serve: Serve chilled with apple slices, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or ginger snaps.

Notes

  • Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for the smoothest texture.
  • For a stronger fall flavor, add an extra pinch of pumpkin pie spice.
  • Prepare the dip several hours ahead of time for easier entertaining.
  • Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container.

Storage
