Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (1 brick)
- 1¼ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (about ½ can)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to allow for easy mixing and smooth consistency.
- Mix Ingredients: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate if desired before serving. This dip pairs wonderfully with graham crackers, cookies, or fresh apple slices.
Notes
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness and texture.
- Storage: Store the pumpkin cream cheese dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving and stir well.
- For best results, use real pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling to control sweetness and flavor.
