Pumpkin dip is the latest recipe in my collection of pumpkin treats – be sure to try my pumpkin gooey butter cake and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies if you haven’t already! This creamy dip is perfect served with graham crackers, apples and other sweet dippers.

There’s just something fun about a dessert dip, especially when it’s fall themed like this fluffy pumpkin dip. You can whip up this dip in about 5 minutes, and it makes the perfect addition to a pumpkin carving party, Thanksgiving menu or just for when you want a taste of pumpkin pie without having to turn on the oven.

How do you make pumpkin dip?

This dip starts with cream cheese and sugar, which are mixed together until light and fluffy. Pumpkin puree and spices are added to the dip, then the whole thing is combined with whipped topping for a unique sweet treat.

Tips for Pumpkin Dip

• Be sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
• Don’t have pumpkin pie spice? Use cinnamon with a dash of nutmeg and ground ginger instead.
• Don’t like whipped topping? You can use fresh whipped cream instead.
• This dip can be made up to one day before you plan to serve it.

Pumpkin dip goes great with a variety of dippers. My favorite are apple slices, but I also have been known to serve this pumpkin dip with

• Graham Crackers
• Vanilla Wafers
• Gingersnaps
• Pretzels
• Grapes

I like to add a few fall sprinkles for a touch of color. If you’re making this dip in advance, don’t add the sprinkles until right before you serve it. If you don’t have sprinkles, you can simply omit them, or try a different topping such as

• Chopped pecans
• Cookie crumbs
• Toffee bits
• Dollop of whipped cream
• Fresh grated nutmeg
• Miniature chocolate chips

I serve this dip every fall and people always ask me for the recipe. It tastes just like pumpkin pie except it’s not nearly as dense as what you’d find in an actual pie. You can even serve it inside a hollowed out pumpkin for a super fun presentation!
