Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1⅓ cups powdered sugar
  • ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
  • 1⅓ cups whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Spices: Stir in the pumpkin puree, ground ginger, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined, creating a smooth and flavorful pumpkin base.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula, ensuring you keep the dip light and airy without deflating the whipped topping.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Serve the pumpkin dip chilled alongside sliced apples, graham crackers, or your favorite dippable treats for a perfect fall snack or dessert.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for a creamy texture.
  • You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves if unavailable.
  • Chill time is important for the dip to set and flavors to develop; do not skip refrigeration.
  • This dip keeps well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Try pairing with pretzels or ginger snaps for a tasty twist.
