During “pumpkin everything” season, this dip is a great way to indulge in those delicious fall flavors and feed a crowd. This pumpkin cheesecake dip is always a crowd pleasure, and a quick dip to whip up just in time for any party.

The dip can be served with whatever you’re partial to for dipping – I like to include Graham Crackers, Nilla Wafers, gingersnaps and even Golden Oreos.

Ingredients

pumpkin cheesecake dip ingredients
  • Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree in this recipe, not pumpkin pie filling!
  • Brown sugar adds depth of flavor, but feel free to use granulated sugar if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Maple syrup enhances the earthiness of the pumpkin and adds a bit more sweetness to the dip.
  • Pumpkin pie spice gives us that classic spice and warmth we all love!
  • Heavy cream: Whipping the cream into the mixture lightens the dip.
  • Vanilla enhances the spice and pumpkin flavors in the dip!
  • Cream cheese adds richness and tanginess – it also makes this a “cheesecake” dip.

Variations

  • You can replace the whipped cream with cool whip if you prefer. Just skip step 4.

Instructions

how to make the pumpkin cheesecake dip
  1. In a small saucepan set over medium heat, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has melted– about 5 minutes.

Set the mixture aside to cool while you prepare the rest of the dip.

2. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form– about 2 minutes. Remove the whipped cream to a separate bowl.

3. Add the softened cream cheese to the stand mixer, this time fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it is light and fluffy – about 2 minutes.

4. Add the pumpkin mixture to the cream cheese and mix until it is fully combined.

5. Add the whipped cream to the mixture and gently fold it in – you don’t want to deflate the cream!

6. Once the dip is fully combined, transfer it to your serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Serve with your favorite dippers and enjoy!

Storage

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
