Pumpkin Dip, with its creamy cool texture and spicy sweet flavor, is the very best fall treat! My sister-in-law, Paige made this dip when we were visiting for Thanksgiving one year and we could not get enough of it! Now it’s a staple at our house during the autumn holidays. It’s different than most fall treats; light, cool and creamy instead of heavy like a pumpkin pie. We love serving it at holiday buffets with a big platter of ginger snap cookies or shortbread cookies. This dip is something unique that everyone is excited to try and it’s always the first thing to go at a party.

Suggestions for Making Pumpkin Dip
This Pumpkin Dip is best served super cold. You’ll need to refrigerate this dip for at least an hour before serving. This gives the flavors a chance to blend.Letting the dip sit overnight in the fridge is even better. This is a nice party food to make ahead of time and store in the refrigerator until your guests come over. It’ll stay nice and fresh in the fridge for up to three days.You can use lower fat cream cheese to cut down calories but steer clear of complete fat free varieties. It’s just not as creamy and smooth as fuller fat options. Everything in moderation, right?To get everything super creamy with zero lumps, I recommend letting the cream cheese reach room temperature before blending. Whip it up alone until nice and smooth. Then add the rest of the ingredients. It’s worth taking the extra time to get this dip as fluffy and silky as possible.
