Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves (optional)
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Serving Suggestions
- Graham crackers
- Cinnamon sugar pita chips
- Sliced apples
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer to ensure a lump-free base.
- Mix in pumpkin and spices: Add the canned pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if using. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula, stirring carefully until the dip becomes light and fluffy without deflating the whipped topping.
- Chill the dip: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld and the dip chills properly.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the chilled dip with graham crackers, cinnamon sugar pita chips, or fresh apple slices for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smooth dip.
- Adjust the amount of spices to your taste preference; adding more cinnamon enhances warmth.
- For a thicker dip, refrigerate longer before serving.
- This dip is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days.
- Optionally, you can substitute whipped topping with whipped cream for a fresher taste.
