Ingredients

This fluffy pumpkin dip only requires a handful of ingredients! Five to be exact.

It is the perfect last minute treat for fall parties, game day, or even Thanksgiving.

Ingredient Notes

  • Pumpkin: The key ingredient in this creamy pumpkin dip is of course pumpkin! Pure, real pumpkin puree – not pumpkin pie filling. You’ll need 1 cup.
  • Cream Cheese: This no bake recipe has a delicious cream cheese base. Which makes it taste like cheesecake! Add an 8 oz block.
  • Light Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar adds the perfect sweetness here. 1/4 cup is all you need!
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: This pumpkin pie dip recipe obviously requires pumpkin spice. Add 1 1/2 tsp or however much you’d like!
  • Cinnamon: I also add extra cinnamon here because why not! It just adds more great fall flavor. 1 tsp is perfect!

Substitutions & Additions

This great recipe is quite simple so there are not too many substitutions or additions to make, but I do have a few ideas!

Sugar: I used brown sugar in this recipe and I have not tested any alternatives. But I do believe you could use powdered sugar or maple syrup if that is what you have on hand. I would just add a little bit at a time until you reach your desired sweetness and consistency!

Pumpkin Pie Spice: If you cannot get your hands on pumpkin pie spice or don’t feel like buying it, you could use the individual spices instead. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves!

Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract is a great way to add more flavor to this delicious pumpkin dip recipe.

Greek Yogurt: I think swapping a bit of the cream cheese used here for greek yogurt is a great idea! It would lighten this dip, make it more nutritious, and add protein.

Expert Tips

Add some texture and crunch on top! I like to crumble up some graham crackers, but nuts would be a great options. Or even chocolate chips.

Soften you cream cheese in the microwave before mixing.

Mix thoroughly so the dip is super smooth and there are no chunks of cream cheese left.

Add pumpkin spice and cinnamon to taste!

Serve in a mini pumpkin or a cute pumpkin dish for a festive flare.
