Scale

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. Prepare the base: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  2. Add pumpkin and spices: Stir in the pumpkin puree, ground ginger, and pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon) into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  3. Combine with whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
  4. Chill the dip: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the consistency to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve: Serve the pumpkin dip chilled, paired perfectly with sliced apples or graham crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with suitable alternatives.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of powdered sugar according to taste.
  • Use fresh pumpkin pie spice or make your own blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for a personalized flavor.
  • Chilling the dip improves thickness and flavor melding, so avoid skipping this step.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
