Have you ever tried Pumpkin Dip? If not, you're in for a fall treat that’s been a family favorite in our home for as long as I can remember. My mom has been making this sweet, creamy dip for years—so long, in fact, that I can't even recall when it first showed up at our table. All I know is that my dad loves it so much, he requests it all year round!

This easy pumpkin dip is rich with fall flavors, perfectly spiced, and absolutely irresistible with thin ginger snaps—my personal favorite pairing. But don’t stop there! You can keep it simple with one or two dippers, or go all out and create a stunning fall snack board with fruit, cookies, pretzels, and more. It’s a crowd-pleasing addition to any fall gathering or cozy night in.

And can we talk about that charcuterie-style board in the photos? GORGEOUS, right?! Huge thanks to my dad for crafting such a beautiful piece!

If you’re building your fall recipe collection, go ahead and add this one to the list. Once you try it, I have a feeling it’ll become a staple in your home too. Let me know what you serve it with—I’d love to hear your favorite combos!

Ingredients

  • cream cheese
  • powdered sugar
  • canned pumpkin
  • cinnamon
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • nutmeg

See exact quantities in recipe card below.

Instructions

Bring the cream cheese to room temperature as this will make it easier to blend. Blend the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually mix in the pumpkin. Mix the rest of the ingredients until well blended. Chill for about 1 hour+ so that the flavors can all meld together. That is all! See the video below to see the recipe in action!

Tips

Be sure and use canned pumpkin...NOT pumpkin pie filling!

Equipment

A hand mixer and a bowl is ALL you need...well maybe a good scraper. Here is a link to all my favs!

Storage

This dip keeps for a week in the fridge with an airtight lid. So its perfect to mix up the day before a party to help with schedules!

    I made this for Halloween and it was a big hit! Love that I didn't have to cook anything and that I could make it ahead and keep it in the fridge.

    You didn't actually include the recipe card. So there are no amounts.
