Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Soften the Cream Cheese: Start by letting your cream cheese sit at room temperature until softened, which makes it easier to blend and results in a smoother dip.
  2. Mix the Pumpkin and Spices: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract, stirring until the spices are fully incorporated and fragrant.
  3. Blend in Brown Sugar and Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese and brown sugar to the pumpkin mixture, then beat with a hand mixer until creamy and consistent without lumps.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula to maintain the dip’s fluffy texture, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up slightly.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for the creamiest results.
  • Fold whipped topping gently to keep the dip light and airy.
  • Chilling the dip allows spices to fully infuse the flavors.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for vibrant taste.
  • Prepare the dip a day ahead for hassle-free entertaining and enhanced flavor.
