Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces (225g) full fat cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- ¾ cup (194g) pumpkin purée (room temperature)
- ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine Cream Cheese and Pumpkin: In a medium bowl, use a handheld mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to beat the softened cream cheese and pumpkin purée together on medium speed until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Sweeteners and Spices: Add the packed brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon to the mixer bowl. Continue beating the mixture until it becomes smooth and well incorporated.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dip to a covered container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly before serving.
- Storage: Store any leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth dip without lumps.
- Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor and texture.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste.
- Serve chilled with graham crackers, ginger snaps, apple slices, or pretzels for a perfect pairing.
- For a lighter version, substitute the full-fat cream cheese with low-fat or Neufchatel cream cheese.
