Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 15-oz can pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 8-oz tub Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Beat the cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
  2. Add pumpkin and spices: Mix in the pure pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat again until everything is fully combined and smooth with no lumps.
  3. Fold in the whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the mixture using a spatula, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. This allows flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve and garnish: Before serving, optionally sprinkle extra cinnamon on top for added aroma and decoration. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers like crackers or fruit slices.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in your dip.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor and texture.
  • The dip can be made a day ahead and refrigerated to enhance the flavors.
  • For a lighter version, substitute Cool Whip with whipped Greek yogurt but adjust sweetness accordingly.
  • Pairs well with graham crackers, apple slices, pretzels, or ginger snaps.
