Pumpkin Dip is smooth, creamy and downright delicious! Tastes like pumpkin pie in a bowl. This treat is great to serve as a sweet appetizer or dessert.
When I think of dips, I typically think savory like beer cheese and sausage dip or cheesy bacon artichoke dip. Sweet dips like caramel apple dip and this pumpkin pie dip for fruit and cookies are just as amazing and always a crowd pleaser. And of course you can’t go wrong when pumpkin is involved.

Ingredients needed
Pumpkin: Make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin, not canned pumpkin pie.
Cream Cheese: I use full fat but you could use the lower fat option.

Powdered Sugar: This adds a slight sweetness to the dip.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: Adds a wonderful fall flavor. Make your own pumpkin pie spice or prepackaged.

You won’t believe how easy this pumpkin dip with cream cheese is to make! If you are craving pumpkin pie but don’t feel like making a whole pie, this is a great alternative that can be made in minutes.

- Cool: Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Recipe tips
- For creamy dip, make sure to let you cream cheese sit out at room temperature for about one hour.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use cinnamon and nutmeg or even this apple pie spice.
- Make sure to store in the refrigerator when not eating.
