Everyone loves this pumpkin dip recipe that tastes just like pumpkin pie filling! It takes just 5 minutes to make this fall favorite party treat.
Of all of the pumpkin recipes I’ve made, this pumpkin dip is one that gets the most rave reviews! People can’t get over how it tastes just like pumpkin pie. It takes just 5 minutes in a food processor or blender and has become my go-to for fall gatherings.
Scoop up a fluffy dollop with an apple slice and I promise: you’ll immediately want to devour the entire bowl. (If you don’t, you may have some sort of super power!) I love making this for all the fall experiences: apple picking, Halloween parties, Thanksgiving, and more!
Ingredients in pumpkin pie dip
This pumpkin pie dip tastes like pumpkin pie filling: in fact, I actually like it even better! It’s pure and full-flavored, with just the right balance of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spices.
I’ve made it often for friends and family, and everyone goes crazy for it. It’s ideal for a fall dinner post-apple picking or pumpkin patch visit, Halloween parties, and Thanksgiving gatherings. All you need are these six ingredients:
- Cream cheese
- Pumpkin puree
- Powdered sugar
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Vanilla extract
Pro tips for perfectly fluffy dip
This pumpkin dip recipe takes just a few minutes to whip up! All you need is a food processor, though you can also use other tools to get the job done. Here are a few tips for making this simple dip recipe:
- Use a food processor or stand mixer. The best tool for the job is a large food processor. You can also try it in a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer.
- Soften the cream cheese first. You can let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften, but we often don’t have the time for this. Here’s a trick: simply microwave it for 5 seconds. Just don’t do it any longer because you don’t want the cream cheese to melt!
- Blend and serve immediately. Some pumpkin dip recipes require refrigeration but why wait? Take one bite of this creamy, fluffy dip and you’ll want to devour it immediately.
Ways to serve pumpkin dip
What to serve with this pumpkin pie dip? My favorite is apple slices, but there are lots of other ways to serve it. The best options are fall-favorite fruits, pretzels and cookies. It’s perfect for any fall gathering as an appetizer, snack, or even dessert: and kids especially love it. Here are a few ideas for dipping:
- Fruit: Apple slices or pear slices. I like using Pink lady apples for the perfect sweet tart crunch.
- Pretzels: To me, this is the perfect salty-sweet combination.
- Cookies: Ginger cookies or vanilla wafer cookies go well.
- Graham crackers: It’s fun to break graham crackers into dippable rectangles.
Storing leftovers
This pumpkin dip dip recipe can be eaten immediately, or you can make it in advance and store it before eating. This recipe lasts 5 days refrigerated.
The dip becomes more solid in texture when cold, so allow it to stand at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for best results.
Dietary notes
This pumpkin pie dip recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free. For vegan and dairy-free, use vegan cream cheese.
