A quick and easy no-bake Pumpkin Dip with just six ingredients takes less than five minutes to prepare and tastes like all the best parts of pumpkin cheesecake in dip form. Serve it with crisp, tart apples, graham crackers, ginger snaps, or butter cookies.
This dip is perfect for movie night, game day, or any fall or Halloween party. If you like this dip, try pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin cheesecake, or pumpkin dump cake.
Ingredients Needed
- Cream cheese: full-fat is best
- Pumpkin puree: not pumpkin pie mix
- Powdered sugar: dissolves better in the dip than granulated sugar
- Spices: ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
How to make Pumpkin Dip
First, using an electric mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed, beat the cream cheese till its texture is smooth and creamy with no lumps. Then, reduce the speed to low and slowly add the pumpkin puree and powdered sugar in several increments, alternating between the two.
Scrape down the side of the bowl and beater as needed. Mix the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg into the pumpkin mixture. Spoon the dip into a serving bowl, cover, and chill for at least 2 hours.
Preparation Tips
- Soften the cream cheese to room temperature to make it easier to work with.
- Use canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree.
- Cover and chill the dip for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- This dip can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Just store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
- In a hurry? Substitute 2 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead of the other spices.
- This dip is pretty sweet. Consider serving with tart apples like Granny Smith Apples or Pink Lady apples. Or try the sweet and salty combo and serve it with pretzels or bagel chips.
Serving Suggestions
- Apple slices
- Pear slices
- Graham crackers
- Gingersnaps
- Butter cookies
