Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cups whipped topping, thawed
For Serving
- Apples, sliced
- Graham crackers
- Gingersnap cookies
Optional Garnish
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: Place the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Pumpkin and Spice: Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Continue beating until all ingredients are well combined and uniformly mixed.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Using a spatula, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping to keep the dip light and airy without deflating it.
- Serve: Spoon the pumpkin dip into a serving bowl. Garnish with sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately with sliced apples, graham crackers, and gingersnap cookies for dipping.
Notes
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices that alter the flavor and texture.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it whips smoothly and results in a creamy, lump-free dip.
