Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30–45 minutes to soften, which will make it easier to mix and create a smooth dip.
- Combine Cream Cheese and Pumpkin: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Sweeteners and Spices: Add the powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat the ingredients until they are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. This step lightens the texture and makes the dip fluffy and airy.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle extra pumpkin pie spice on top. Pair the dip with cookies, pretzels, or fresh fruit for a delicious seasonal treat.
Notes
- This dip tastes best served chilled but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for the creamiest texture.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the powdered sugar to 1/2 cup.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra warm spice flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with plant-based alternatives.
