Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 15-oz can pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 8-oz tub Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Spices: Mix in the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Continue to beat the mixture until all the ingredients are fully combined and the texture is uniform without any lumps.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip using a spatula, incorporating it carefully to maintain a light and airy texture throughout the dip.
  4. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle extra ground cinnamon on top for a final touch of flavor and visual appeal. Serve chilled alongside dippers like graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar if desired.
  • For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute cream cheese and Cool Whip with suitable plant-based alternatives.
  • Keep the dip refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
  • Serve with an assortment of dippers for variety and added texture contrast.
