PUMPKIN DIP INGREDIENTS

Pumpkin Dip raw ingredients that are labeled

You’ll need:

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

PRO TIP:

Watch out when you are at the grocery store that you buy pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

PUMPKIN SPICE: You can eliminate the extra ground cinnamon and ginger and increase the pumpkin spice to 2½ teaspoons if you prefer.

HOW TO MAKE THIS PUMPKIN DIP RECIPE

PRO TIP:

This sweet dip can be made ahead of time. Just leave off any toppings such as whipped cream until you are ready to serve.

STEP ONE: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese for 1 minute until smooth. Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides.

PRO TIP:

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have any lumps in your dip.
