- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Notes
TIP: Watch out when you are at the grocery store that you buy pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling.
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.
TIP: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have any lumps in your dip.
