Why this pumpkin pie dip recipe works

When it comes to easy recipes, this delicious pumpkin pie dip is a huge hit. The ingredients are minimal and the cooking time is super short, literally done from start to finish in just a few hours. The fall flavor of pumpkin tastes terrific mixed with pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and cream cheese—all for a fluffy pumpkin dip that awaits your dipping cracker or cookie of choice. You can also make my slow cooker pumpkin pie, or slow cooker pumpkin cobbler recipe!

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for pumpkin pie dip on a table.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Make sure you get canned pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. The puree is nothing but cooked and pureed pumpkin, whereas the pie filling has added spices and sugar. You can also use my slow cooker pumpkin recipe.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: This is where your seasoning will come from, as it is a mixture of all the warm spices and fall flavors (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves).
  • Brown Sugar: Used to add a bit of sweetness to the pumpkin dip.
  • Cream Cheese: Using cream cheese in a recipe like this helps with making it both creamy and thick enough for dipping.
  • Heavy Cream: Because of its substance, heavy cream makes an appetizer like this dipping sauce thicker in both texture and flavor. Often labeled “heavy whipping cream”.

Recipe FAQs and Variations

What do I do if my cream cheese does not melt smoothly?

If your cream cheese won’t melt smoothly, you can put the dip in a blender or use an immersion blender.

What can I use instead of heavy cream (heavy whipping cream)?

You can use half and half or milk or whipping cream.

How do I store leftover pumpkin dip?

Place any remaining creamy pumpkin pie dip into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Can I use homemade pumpkin puree in this easy recipe?

Absolutely! I would use a small sugar pumpkin, cut into pieces, and bake at 375 until soft. Then remove the skin and use a food processor to puree the “meat” of the pumpkin. Or you can use my slow cooker pumpkin puree recipe!
